Rex T dude comes to rape you and kill your children, so you pull out the .38 will silver bullets you bought and saved for Special Occasions and put a few bullets into him.
then call the police and show them proof of his other child murders.
And become leader of the Pride for being the only clearly thinking member of it....

1. Anita didn't gain the rapey sex power from JC; that'd cut down on a lot of the bullshit right there. In fact, Anita just stops gaining random powers as needed. She's got a pretty cool power already, she doesn't need more ( ... )

1. The blatent misogyny. Any woman who doesn't like Anita is automatically an evil horrible meaniehead who deserves to have horrible things happen to them because they don't worship Saint Anita.

2. Doing her freaking job instead of bopping away from crime scenes to go boink her harem.

3. Stepping down from her multiple "rulerships" so someone competent can actually do the job.

4. The creepy gun fetishes. In Wounded she can't be bothered to leave her gun in the damn car for a wedding reception or at least conceal it well.

5. The bashing. Seriously, she can't get through a day without snide comments about Asher/Richard/You name them.
