One thing I love about A Scandal in Belgravia is how the episode exposes heteronormativity. We are presented with a man showing absolutely no interest in a woman besides the interest he has in solving the case she’s involved in. He never responds to a single text she sends him until it’s hinted that perhaps his refusal to answer is a sign of interest, then he immediately replies. He keeps telling her not to be flattered by anything he says, not to give him compliments and not to think that he’s interested in ‘having dinner’. Meanwhile, a self-proclaimed lesbian tries to manipulate a man into helping her commit a crime by coming on to him and drops him the moment she gets what she wants (‘Not you, junior, you’re done now’). And yet people still think they’re in love because intelligent hero + sexy intelligent woman = straight romance.
Another thing I love (?) about A Scandal in Belgravia is how the episode exposes indifference to sexual harassment and abuse. This romance that people see is not just between an uninterested man and a manipulative woman. Irene sexually harasses and abuses Sherlock clearly and repeatedly all the way through the episode. She approaches him naked. She personalises her text alert noise to a moan that he can’t switch off. She repeatedly asks him to ‘have dinner’ when he’s quite clearly told her multiple times that he isn’t interested. She texts him repeatedly through a period of several months (that’s called stalking). She repeatedly touches him without his permission - straddling his lap in the nude, caressing his shoulder, touching his hand, kissing his cheek - and every time we see that his reaction is clear discomfort. She continues to come on to him very strongly even after he’s clearly told her not to (‘Please don’t feel obliged to tell me that was amazing or fantastic. John has expressed that sentiment in every variant available to the English language.’ - ‘I would have you right here on this desk until you begged for mercy twice.’) She drugs and hits him, which is assault by any definition and sexual assault when taking into account that she beats him with a riding crop. And yet still people think they’re in love because intelligent hero + sexy intelligent woman = straight romance.
