I havent watched it in a decade but Navarro is a dipshit. Do you have any examples though?
There are so many examples, it's hard to pick a specific one.
Women were constantly being treated like they weren't as talented as their male counterparts, (even when they obviously were), several instances of women creating tattoos that were criticized for not being "feminine enough", (and also the inverse, saying that some tattoos of the female form were "too masculine"), comments about women's pain tolerances compared to men, comments about "girly" tattoos, comments about someone "crying like a girl", male contestants making disrespectful comments about female contestants, (often focusing on their appearance, or emotional states). It really just permeates the entire show.
I suppose a lot of this could be considered more sexist than outright misogynistic, but it all just kind of starts to bleed together into a very gross look for the show.
What's interesting is it wasn't as noticeable to me when I watched one episode a week back when they were being initially aired, but when I watch episodes back-to-back, it is absolutely impossible to miss, and just leaves a terrible taste in my mouth.
