All true. But let's not also forget that both Burke and Jeff were "jerks" above and beyond their feelings about Barnabas. And, yes - both were products of their times and the fact that men created/wrote them. But OMG, no other woman, certainly no woman in her right mind, should have put up with half of the attitudes, mostly in the case of Burke, and the bizarre behavior, mostly in the case of Jeff, that Vicki seemed perfectly willing to accept with little to no argument. The times she seemed to get a backbone were almost exclusively when the story dictated that she stand up for Barnabas. Otherwise it was mostly and sadly that she practically got down on the floor for them to walk all over her. Some days I half expected to see shoe prints on her clothes and face...
