BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER 2x21 “Becoming, Part One” | 5x19 “Tough Love” I'm a vampire. I know something about evil.

Whenever Angel turns to Angelus the first thing he does is sport leather pants and actually he is so funny for that

buffy summers was sixteen and she died and saved the world. then she slept with her boyfriend and he turned evil and threatened and tortured and murdered all the people she cared about. then he turned good again and she had to kill him. she had to watch him as he closed his eyes because he trusted her and she had to stab him through the heart and send him to hell. and every single person she loved was mad at her about it.

Has anyone ever noticed that Angel is very misoginistic?

I think it's the easiest to prove when comparing him to Spike. We see both of them with and without their souls after all...

I haven't seen anyone mention it before but the comparison between Angelus and Spikes victims supports my theory that Angel hates women.

Because who are the most mentioned/known victims of Angelus?

Teenage, defensless girls that he became obsessed with, ruined their lives and t0rtured them to death.

Compare that to Spike who is known for killing slayers. Also women, but the strongest of them. The ones vampires are scared of.

Angelus loves to torment girls who have done nothing wrong and have no way of defending themselves while spike loves to overpower the strongest women in the world (and he gives them quick death, it's not about causing pain).

Of course neither of them is good... but there is a big difference in what they are proud of and enjoy.

Another example would be that Halloween episode where Buffy dresses up as some lady from the past and later tells Angel that she wanted to see what it was like to be a girl he probably had a crush on in his youth.

His response? His "comforting" response? "I hated the girls back then" and then added something about all of them being idiots and Buffy being "not like other girls".

Again, let's compare that to Spike. Spike who, as a human, was brutally (she really didn't need to be THAT cruel about it) rejected by a woman he was in love with and yet didn't show any sign of resentment towards her. I know if he was Angelus he would've come back to ruin her life after he got turned. He did with Buffy and she loved him.

And yet, that never happens. He even meets her later on in the story (she became a demon) and there seems to be some fondness in their short interaction.

And my last example would be the fact that Angel "fell in love" with Buffy when she was 14. I really don't understand how this isn't an ick for so many people.

Because it's the same as if Spike decided to fall in love with Dawn in s5. Just imagine it, if you think Angels and Buffys relatioship is okay.
