Well, hold on now. In that blog post, I did say that some of the scenes in TLH wouldn't sit well with audiences if the genders were reversed. But just because that's the way things are doesn't mean that it's the way things should be.

Pasta, you know you're my bro, but I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I don't think Ron Andy giving Linka a shiner would be that much worse than Ronnie Anne doing it to Lincoln. Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male is a huge pet peeve of mine. When comparing the original scene from Heavy Meddle to the gender-swapped one, I'm of the belief that either both of them are okay or neither of them are.

As an aside, given all the hate that "April Fools Rules" gets, I'm surprised that people seldom bring up what I thought was the most irksome aspect of that episode. Lincoln willingly setting off all those pranks to spare Ronnie Anne sounds pretty heartwarming, until you remember that he did so because he thought she would pulverize him if she ended up getting pranked by Luan. Real talk: if someone is ready to "pulverize" you over something that isn't even your fault, that person is not your friend. And it doesn't make it any more acceptable if that person is female.

Heck, it's half the reason I wrote "Lincoln's Confidant".
