Idk if I could have worded the title better,
What I mean is shows/episodes what are attempting to be feminist in nature but are either so badly written or misunderstand what empowerment is so much that they undermine there own point and just give fuel to misogynists for example the show “all’s fair” is a perfect example of something so absurd and supposedly empowering that it just becomes a point of mockery of the whole idea of actual empowerment, there’s some other examples off the top of my head like the episode emancipation from Stargate season one or the entirety of the acolyte from Disney+, there are good examples as well like peggy Olsen from mad men and a lot of the handmaids tale what feel real and earned but I feel like for every actually positive feminist show we get 3 what are a pure parody of actual feminism.
Thanks for reading sorry if It became ranty.
