Well, for one thing, this is a macro set and it's meant to draw caricatures. She's no more a whore than Noah Bennet is God or Mohinder is a prophet, but it's humor. Exaggeration. Also playing off the fan emotion. I ship Matt/Mohinder, so when I'm doing serious slash, I try to treat her respectfully. Cf. Kiss #11 (http://tiptoe39.livejournal.com/455525.html#cutid1) or A Simple Twist of Fate (http://tiptoe39.livejournal.com/534374.html#cutid1) or even the epilogue to Unexpected (http://tiptoe39.livejournal.com/436978.html#cutid1). But I'm not going for serious here. If you can't see that, or think I'm some sort of hopeless mysoginist, I can't help you. I really didn't expect to get called out on a macro set of all things.
As for what made me lose respect for her, well, I must admit I got very angry with her for throwing the phone at him. I thought that was violence, and violence to me in a marriage is clearly out of bounds. And she did cheat on him, and she in general was very selfish, I thought, and not very understanding of the fact that her husband was going through something that required some understanding. Not just big things, but little ones as well. Maybe she was not written well, maybe she was written by guys and that was the problem, but in the end, i felt like they hurt each other, and I felt like he was trying so hard but couldn't do anything right in her eyes. He made loads of mistakes too but ... that's how I felt.
