I am not quite there yet but I am smashing ideas together. Something about the way that being biased is bad, being biased is natural, and thinking of yourself as a good person can blind you to your own biases, because being good is something you DO and not something you are. Something about men being the default and men being the basis for crash test dummies and medical trials and the term "mankind" and the unaddressed, unconscious assumption in the back of most men's brains being that men are the default and women are the deviation. Something about how Curly's privilege blinds him to the possibility of Anya getting hurt. Something about Curly conflating "not a threat " with "not a threat (to him)". Something about Anya asking Curly for help and being told straight to her face that Curly would do anything for his crew while in the same moment failing to do a single thing for her as a member of the crew he is so dedicated to. Something about Curly not being able to consider the ramifications of enabling Jimmy because helping people is A Good Deed and Jimmy is more people than the people he is hurting, because Jimmy is Curly's Good Buddy and whoever was victimized is an abstract, and it conflicts with Curly's self image as a good guy who is helping his friend who is also a good guy and deserves the helping hand, because seeing the best in people is also A Good Deed. Something about Jimmy's obsession with fixing it being focused on Curly exclusively because Curly has become a stand in/symbol for society at large, Curly is the authority, Curly is the blonde blue eyed Golden boy in the captains seat, because Curly is the one who gets to decide to give Jimmy forgiveness for his bad deeds by being the one to pull him up past consequences to Curly's rung on the ladder. Anya is not people and Anya is not society at large the same way Curly is, so who cares, this is about Jimmy fixing the problem (getting caught) (getting consequences) (getting punished). Are you seeing my red yarn and thumb tack vision board. Are you smelling what I am stepping in
