/"I knew that other women seemed not to see it" So, what, men do and just don't say anything?/
Of course. According to Anita, only women are stupid enough to feel sorry for manipulative liars and be taken in by then. It’s the old story: if a man betrays a woman, she’s stupid for believing him. If a woman betrays a man, she’s the devil incarnate for betraying him. In other words, women are dumb for liking bad boys, but men are fine for liking bad girls. You see this when many critics claim that the only reason that a villain could be popular is because he has shallow fangirls who think he’s hot instead of A) men and women liking the villain for his effectiveness or B) fanboys excusing the villain because he’s “hardcore” or “tough.”
/THIS IS NOT SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT, IT JUST MEANS YOU'RE STUPID!/
Umm, Anita, running away from a murderous psychopath is what most people would consider the normal reaction to facing one. It’s one thing to bravely confront him like you’re in a horror or action movie, it’s another to sit down and ogle him.
/"They didn't understand what you were."/
Why do I get the feeling that if Anita were dropped into the Hannibal universe, she’d be forever sniping at Clarice Starling for “stealing” her man and ranting about how Clarice is so stupid for being freaked-out by Hannibal instead of swooning over him?
