What the hell, The Magicians.

I had thought the show was doing quite well with sexuality and women's issues. I mean, a main character was actually going to get an abortion because it was her choice and she wanted to and all of her friends supported her decision and did everything they could to help her out.

I don't know if I've ever seen that on TV.

And then this?

Abortion == lost her soul???

Are you serious?

Now Julia's going to go around being an evil, self-centered bitch out to kill a god. Maybe not the God, but a god.

She's like a checklist of Things Patriarchy Is Afraid Of And Must Demonize.

  • witch
  • powerful
  • self-taught
  • makes her own decisions about her body
  • single
  • childless
  • vengeful

Now all wrapped up in a nice little Has No Soul bow.

Ugh.
