I adore Flint’s relationships with women. Miranda, Eleanor, Maroon Queen, Madi (in chronological order of meeting). They are different, but all are based on respect on his part. I think it’s very rare for a male character to have those kind of relationships with multiple women.

Same anon.I agree so much.I think one of the reasons we all love Flint so much is him being a gentleman after all these years of hard living (lets thank Miranda for that) and respect he shows the ladies.Most important-he sees the women in his life as equals,as partners.

Flint and Eleanor were not always on the same side,but there was always an understanding between them and never once he treated her with anything less than respect.Their partnership,a business one sometimes and still very personal because they shared the same dream once was a thing of beauty.

Flint’s relationship with Miranda still means everything to me.Flint loved and admired her, Miranda was his home,his safe harbor and Flint cherished that. They could tear each other down,were bound by misery-but if Thomas was his heart,Miranda was his soul and we saw what happened to him when he lost her.

Maroon Queen is another important woman in his life,as his war partner.From the moment he met her,Flint respected her authority and understood her position as a leader.I can’t say he did not use her for his own purposes,but Flint made sure she understood the risks,saw the big picture and that the war he is bringing to her door step is a chance to fight back.

Flint’s relationship with Madi is one of the highlights of S4 for me.Their mutual respect did not happened over night. It took losing Silver and events of the Underhill plantation for them to bond and I think Flint inspired Madi when she got to know him a little better. And he once again enjoys a presence of a strong and intelligent woman in his life and I believe he cares about her a lot and not only as a partner in their upcoming war.Madi is another one of these rare people he calls friends.

There are many reasons to love Flint,but yes his respect for women is one of the greatest ones:)
