It's not even about stereotypical female roles; he just holds women to a higher standard. And they always don't meet it - because women are people, too, and therefore flawed - so he's always justified in calling women horrible names and treating them like shit.
You might have just described the most misogynistic woman I've ever met--which is the thing that makes sussing this guy out so difficult. Plenty of feminist women hold other women to an impossible standard in the hope that they'll outshine all the men, so...could still be a girl. But there is definitely that sense of justification in treating women terribly because they're not perfect enough, either way.
I actually kind of wonder if that's part of why he sticks around--if he's figured out that we're all women and therefore enjoys taunting us all the more.
Now, how all that fits in with his interpretation of Kosh as a sadistic bastard who tortures people for fun and treats all the humans like his puppets and just "rewrites personalities" for the fun of it...I have no idea.
Yeah, me either. In fact, that's part of why I had a slightly easier time ignoring his lengthy reply to the post today--it was just so far out of absolutely nowhere that I couldn't even begin to compose anything that would have been coherent in response. All the random screaming would have just looked hysterical, and even considering it made my brain hurt.
