There are numerous examples of Skylar sucking on the show, and none of them have anything to do with misogyny.

What's a good example of Skylar sucking (to the extent Walt does) BEFORE it was revealed to her that he was a criminal monster living under her roof endangering her entire family?

Also, people "cheering for" Walter would also admit that he is a crazy monster.

I'm not buying it, largely because it doesn't also apply to Skylar.

It's not a black and white issue...there's always some gray with just about everything on the show. You love Walt, then you hate him, and back and forth. That's one reason the show was so great...they made you like a completely unlikable guy. But liking him sometimes doesn't mean that you don't think he's a monster.

And I'm arguing that if you knew this person in real life, you would not love him and then hate him. You would hate him. Being on TV provides a level of remove that is not realistic. If you knew that hit men were under the same roof as a defenseless baby...and ALL because of his behavior, you would not love him. You would hate him.
