Women's rights

Self-description[1] |
One would think that a person who almost exclusively socializes with women and refers to all men aside from himself and his father as jerks would be very supportive of women's rights. In the case of Christian Weston Chandler, however, one would be mistaken. Women's rights, at least in Chris's mind, refer to the right of women to strip without interference, and to be interpreted as women without pickles. Chris tries to pass off his chauvinism as pseudo-feminism, and will never get laid without paying for the honor.
Given his admitted love of the 1964 classic Mary Poppins, he presumably stole the concept from the character of Mrs. Banks, who is a suffragette in 1910 London.[2] Of course, Chris wouldn't have the first idea of what women's suffrage is, let alone the impact it had on world history, and why it was being shown in the movie in the first place.
Origin
His extreme zeal for "women's rights" probably comes from a Mrs. Banks, the mother of Jane and Michael. As the story is set in 1910 London, women did not yet have the right to vote, and was a time particularly noted for the rise in campaigns for women's franchise, particularly from groups like the radical Suffragettes and the more moderate Suffragists. Mrs. Banks is the mother of the children and sings the second song, "Sister Suffragette", during which she mentions Emmeline Pankhurst being arrested (again).[3]
Mrs. Banks and her friends were depicted as struggling for the greater cause of being treated as an equal, with the same rights and treatment. But Chris takes it to mean they simply want to remove their clothes and fuck.
In the comic
In the comics, women are portrayed as only enjoying fucking, shopping, and cooking, though they do not enjoy them for themselves; they enjoy cooking for the men. Similarly, when they go shopping, they buy clothes to wear for their significant other/crush.
Chris's most prominent reference to women's rights occurs at the end of Episode 17, in which the Rosechus of CWCville strip to celebrate their victory over Jason Kendrick Howell and assert their dominance over 4-cent garbage.com. This scene also implies that women cannot vote in CWCville, because at one point, the Rosechus start singing the "votes for women" portion of the song "Step In Time".
Despite their phenomenal talent for fighting evil, Chris depicts Rosechus as passive sexual toys for Sonichus. Reflecting Chris's own distorted image of women, the Rosechus in his comics tend to exhibit a desire to engage in stereotypical behavior, with occasional aggressive sexual overtures. Women also tend to act as a deus ex machina plot device - occasionally leaving their role as supporting characters to engage in acts of great bravery and heroism.
It is obvious that Chris is aware of the idea that objectifying women is frowned upon; every time he makes his female characters use their feminine qualities (to put it altogether too mildly), he is quick to add a disclaimer that he respects the women for both their minds and bodies, and/or make the claim that the characters are doing it because they want to fight for the women's rights. However, due to his mental block, he fails to understand what society would consider a correct course of action, to wit, not to objectify the women in the first place, and that disclaimers like these make him appear to be a hypocrite.
In real life
Chris allows himself to be controlled by his own desires, and has soaked in all sorts of knowledge about women primarily from anime, video games, and in particular pornography, which Chris considers "educational".[4] He has had several problems realizing the difference between exaggerated stereotypes and the reality, as also evidenced by his racist remarks. During the Tomgirl Saga, he states that he uses the female bathroom, and that there is "no going back for him", not realizing that he is blatantly intruding upon the privacy of the women present, and disregarding their feelings (which, undoubtedly, can be summed up as pure terror) on the matter.
This mindset is painfully obvious in Chris's interaction with women during his Love Quest. Chris takes on a passive role in his attraction strategy, waiting to be approached by women who he thinks will take interest in his appearance. Chris essentially is looking for a maternal figure in his life. Rather than aiming to better himself, he is looking to be fulfilled and served by women. Rather than having the full potential to use their talents in society, women's rights are the rights of women to bring pleasure to men as Chris sees fit. When Chris claimed to have lost his virginity to a woman who was probably a hooker in April 2012, he also said, quite bluntly, "My future sweetheart will find out about it", giving off the impression that whoever hooks up with him will just accept him sleeping with a prostitute right off the bat, and relegating the woman who finally took away his much hated virginity to being nothing more than an organic Fapcup. This was proven true when in December 2014, he wrote this as a vow Catherine#Flirtation_Photos_and_More_Leaks on a card to his latest Trolls sweetheart, Catherine.
Much of Chris's sexism in relationships is rooted in hypocrisy - for example, he thought that if he was married to Ivy and was stressed, he could go to a strip club, but of course she could not; similarly, he suggested a MFF threesome with many of his sweethearts, but was horrified when Ivy suggested a MMF threesome.[5]
When occasionally confronted with his sexism, Chris becomes extremely indignant and offended.[6] When his sexism is pointed out, he gets upset and clarifies that he would never harm a woman (though he has no problem threatening them). Chris seems to be under the impression that "sexism" basically means "physical abuse", and can't process the idea that treating women as sexual objects obsessed with shopping is still a form of sexism if not the definition (in addition to with and other factors).
It seems that in recent years, Chris has gotten more demanding and aggressive in his attitude towards women. Read this E-mail to Catherine leaked in 2014, where Chris gets annoyed when Catherine says no to a relationship (big surprise,) where he basically insults the woman and outright admits that he's entitled to her, right before whining about how depressed he is. He even goes on further to say that she should "appreciate the the hard work and effort I had put into US!!!", blatantly ignoring the fact that not less than two months ago from saying that, he was apologizing out of his butt for behaving like a jackass to her friend.
Long story short, while Chris claims to like women "for their personality", it's blatantly obvious what he's really after. A shining example of this is his comment on the Jackie video [7], where he claims that he liked her for being a "strong character and woman" (despite everybody else hating her for being an outright bitch), but it's more than likely he really likes the part where she and Jerry have sex (and possibly because she shares a name with a certain other Jackie in his life.)
