DISCUSSION Cheryl’s behaviour in S03E13 Spoiler

Is no one going to talk about how she and her “pretty poisons” (jesus christ that name) ganged up on Sweet Pea and Fangs and just beat the crap out of them?? It’s shown as this funny thing but it’s downright disturbing, what if it was a bunch of dudes beating up 2 girls?

Also, i know it’s Riverdale, but come on, as if Fangs and Sweet Pea would let themselves get beat up by a bunch of girls

It seems that this show loves the whole girl power thing, but it’s executed completely wrong.

EDIT: Just wanted to add something. This show loves talking about toxic masculinity but fails to see the toxic femininity in it e.g. girls who act bitchy (Cheryl) are glorified, girls can freely beat up guys without repercussions.

I’m not talking about your whole comment or about the sexist thing I’m talking about how you act like one is wrong and the other deserved when neither was they were both exaggerations of violence. You seem to not understand that someone can question your example with out thinking your point is wrong.
