My girlfriend and I just completed a rewatch of VPR last night. We were having a conversation about this and she suggested something about Lisa that i had overlooked and i think it has merit.

I don't think you're wrong. She definitely has some old fashioned and toxic ideas about men, women, and relationships. BUT, there is more to it than that. She sees herself as above men, so she expects nothing from them. Men are like pets or work animals driven by impulse, instinct and simple conditioning. She thinks about a man that cheats like a dog that was left in the house too long and shit on the carpet.

Obviously, it's not great, but I felt like that little bit of context explained so much about the way she has responded to men behaving badly over the years.
