Younger - IRL (Episode 3)

 I will hate watch this for you forever!

Or maybe just season 1.

So that was actually better. It still wasn't good and there is no way I would have gotten this far if it weren't for my adoring fans 🤣.

The romance between Sutton Foster and the pretty boy (I don't know this actor and I still refuse to learn character names) is actually not too bad. There was a moment when he was maybe a bit gross but I think Sutton found that sexy so you know you do you girlfriend! 
Pretty boy redeemed himself by not talking advantage of Sutton when she accidentally took too much Xanax. Low bar, extremely low bar, I know but this show is not setting high ones for anyone.

The really bad parts are when she goes to work because then I am supposed to believe she can do her job which is social media heavy without knowing things like what IRL means or how to Tweet. Neither does her over 40 boss. I mean aren't the old hilarious! They don't know simple text speak!
It's 2015 not 2005 and these people work in publishing and marketing.

Oh and we had a call back to episode one's hugely problematic pubic hair thing. I wanted to say joke but there was no man around to explain it to me so I didn't get it. 
Apparently no one under the age 30 (I'm guessing here, it wasn't specified) has pubic hair in bizarro 2015 and the 2 mid 20's women who saw Sutton naked in a public gym locker room just couldn't cope with the idea of a 26 year old woman having pubic hair. Sutton went and had most of hers removed. Isn't that funny or something. What is this the 00's? This was a public gym too, so there could have been other women around with pubic hair and Crazy Friend from last time literally squealed at the pubes.

Hilary Duff had a nice time with a Swede and might be realising 'her man' is a douchecannoe. He most definitely is a douchecannoe. And please just don't call anyone "your man" it's gross and makes me uncomfortable. Except of course if you are singing Stand by your man.

And that was about it. 

Stay safe, hate watch with love and as always Do Feminisms!

Younger - Shedonsim (Episode 6)

Shedonism So Shedonism that’s the great name of the book they are publishing that’s written by Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock, she isn’t actually Jenna, that would have been a potentially interesting crossover, Jane Krakowski just plays exactly the same character. Maybe a little toned down. I don't know if they wrote the character for her or if she can't act or what happened. Sutton Foster has to throw the launch party because that’s obvi the kind of thing that assistants who’ve been there 10 minutes do, right? Throw massive important parties for important clients. There’s a thing at the start of the episode about Sutton Foster being #toooldforcrossfit that was so funny , because all young people just jump in and do super high intensity workouts without warming up and are fine afterwards and don’t get sore at all ever. Jenna Maroney wants her book to use the #SlutPack! to promote her book because of empowerment or something. This also seemed to be a funny funny joke but again I th...

Sk8 - 1x08

Today we start with the youth not knowing who or what Punky Brewster is like, no comprehension whatsoever. It is technically too old for 26 year olds in 2015 but it ran in syndication for their entire childhood so it would probably still just be part of their consciousness even if they hadn’t really watched it. So they would have thought it an odd reference rather than just complete dead non understanding stares that we got. For context Sutton Foster was describing the pig tails she had as a young teenager as being like Punky Brewster's, the quick cover was to say she looked like a funky rooster and that was accepted. Oh you’re just high, it’s okay. Cool. Great writing. Then we discover that Sutton Foster doesn’t know how to play video games and again we, as 26 year olds are shake, family. There is some sexy teaching which to me is just awkward because all (some?) of Young Hot Guy’s friends are there. Sutton Foster realises that she doesn’t really like being 26 that much becaus...

Feminist Criminology

I found this in my Google Slides. It must be from my Criminal Justice Admin degree. I always found feminist criminology interesting.  Most of the social theories have kind of the same starting point - crime is caused by a power imbalance. Marxist theory says that capitalism and financial inequality cause crime. I assume there's an explanation for white collar crime but I can't remember, it may just seek to explain criminality in the underclasses.  Feminist criminology began in the 60’s and 70’s. It was a response to the limited ways in which women were dealt with in the criminal justice system.  Traditionally women were controlled by their family and community. They often were not given the opportunity to commit crimes, and the deviance they exhibited was more commonly moving away from sex based roles of of soft feminine wife or mother figure. When women did deviate from these norms tended to be hidden by the family and the woman would be considered mentally ill. If the a...
