Or the way Finn acted around Safy, which is frankly pretty confusing
Shiva certainly appears to get the wrong idea there!
Yeah, "recruiting" Misha is really dodgy but again, it doesn't feel exactly like she's getting kidnapped rather than recruited by some honorable means because she's female. Whereas with Miranda, the disrespect she gets shown and especially the way Leif treats her at the end-- "Naw, not interested in getting married right now (oh hai, Nanna)"-- combined with the way her right to the throne of Alster explicitly does not matter because she's not a boy feel pretty dirty.
As for Midia, one failed rebellion is kind of cool. Two failed rebellions and being basically useless in Book II was cheap.
