this might be hyperbole and not what OP means, but this is what it felt like:

everything bones said she wanted for her life that was opposite of what booth wanted was ignored in favor of what booth wanted. like everything. it really felt like the show was saying if she weren't autistic a person who had such a scientific perspective, she would agree with him to begin with. it felt like she never was allowed to just be "right" in a conflict with booth, that she was always required to compromise her stance, whereas it felt like Booth NEVER did.

but I can't remember if that was accurate to the show, or just how it felt.

nayrt

That's my memory of it too. Especially after she became a mother.

Yup, this is how it felt to me, too. Hell, this is how it felt to me long before the most egregious stuff (apparently) happened. (I'd quit watching by then.)

Honestly, while there were parts of the show I liked and stuck around for, in my opinion the narrative had an underlying flavor of normativity about it, right from the beginning. That's not even a 'hindsight is 20-20' thing; I distinctly remember having conversations with my father (who is my partner in TV-watching) about how it gave me normative vibes, even in the early seasons.

you're absolutely right, it was very conservative in its norms too. like the way they treated Brennan and her dad with the implication that she couldn't have boundaries or had to forgive him, or that episode about faith where it went supernatural for no reason...sigh.
