Just a thought...


Her profile says she's a very strict feminist. But I would think someone who is such a strict feminist would be upset, disgusted or pissed off about comments jokingly made about rape or sexual assault. But in the episode about the Magazine Profile, that's exactly what they do. I'm not trying to sound like a prude because I watch Law & Order SVU and ALOT of other programs that discuss rape and sexual assault in a joking way (this isn't the first show to do that) but wouldn't you think a feminist would be pissed off about using such a serious subject for joke fodder? Not to mention participating in the joke? This is just something I wondered about. Thoughts anyone?

Totally agree. I just watched the 12/28 episode. When America's character fought against stereotyping Latinos, she then ended up doing the same thing. Is it hypercritical, yes! Was it necessary for the scene? Is compromising one's political agenda in the name of "entertainment" OK? Food for thought!! ?
