And as for Yoko, you may have noticed that in her and Markle's cases, the men are generally off the hook, and the women are to blame. Despite the fact that both Harry and Lennon are both educated, successful grown men, have a proven track record of making important decisions, and just generally acting like mature adults, and probably had women offering themselves 24/7 - but apparently all that goes out the window when it suits the argument, at which point they become "merely male", and unable to resist the charms of evil, shameless, opportunistic manipulative women. This narrative is crystal clear in both stories. Lennon and Harry are quite capable of deciding for themselves.
They are and they did.
And no-one doubts that they are strong men.
It's the same with Meghan and Yoko, who are strong, assertive women.
The point is that folks are giving all sorts of different reasons why people don't like Meghan including race, gender, age when the real reason is probably the simple and most obvious.
She's had a strong and assertive, but also disruptive impact on an institution lots of people like.
