Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-151.213.167.54-20141105022645/@comment-25337712-20141105101800

I have to agree with Jarialover1993 about Toby. He shouldn't have been forgiven so easily or Ezra either for that matter. Both of the guys have kept huge secrets from the women they supposedly love, but because fans can't stand to see their ships broken up, they get put back together again. Everyone is hating on Alison because she lied, yet these guys have done much more horrible things to the girls, but they are totally forgiven. Toby was the A that attacked Hanna in the dress shop and Ezra knocked out and nearly killed Spencer in Ravenswood.

Alison lied in an effort to keep the truth about New York from coming out so she could protect Aria, that's why she got Cyrus involved. I get that she isn't perfect herself but she does not deserve the way she is being treated.

There seems to be a huge double standard in the way that male and female characters are treated on this show. Everyone got mad at Alison for keeping secrets about her time away, yet everyone is there to support Caleb through his hard times he was facing due to Ravenswood, even though he was lying too.

People seem to be forgetting about the main storylines of the show and solely focusing on the ships. Characters shouldn't be condemned or their actions forgotten based on the role they play in a certain relationship. They should be seen as characters relating to the A storyline which is the whole point of the show.
