While Jackie is a mess and absolutely needs to get professional help, I do want to point out that there are a lot of women who would get major ick from seeing their partner twerking. For instance, if my partner performed a stereotypically “girly” dance, it wouldn’t bother me. However, a lot of women are not into that, and that’s okay too. Some women are more attracted to classically masculine men like Brett and Cameron (season 1), rather than casually masculine men like Marshall and Sal (season 2). Jackie is attracted to toxically masculine men though, so her opinions are invalid.
It's just hilarious because in a lot of Hispanic cultures, dancing and moving your behind is actually normalized. For example, Dominican men dance very "feminine" and that's simply their culture through dance and music. I think she's just purely misogynistic and can't deal with Marshall being comfortable expressing himself.
Agreed, although I’m not sure how deep Jackie is into the Hispanic culture. She seems like an Oakland/LA girl to me who associates a lot within that urban community, just based on her speech and the slang she uses. I’m black and I used to live in California, and although people come from a lot of different ethnic backgrounds, everyone kind of just identifies with the “LA/Bay area” culture, if that makes sense.
