Not my concern at all. I'm more concerned with the continued efforts to define people by their race and/or gender than their abilities.

Remember kids: What you are is more important than who you are! Have a bunch of great ideas, fantastic concepts and brilliant characters that you want to see on screen… but you're white and male? TOO BAD. HBO's new Tokenism Inc. program is sure to succeed! Big cheer for progressive identity politics, dividing us more…

I can't tell if you're being serious.

"perhaps another female or a person of color"

"… the show’s main cast and most of its supporting players are white men."

Firstly, it's the episode from the week of Valentine's day, so of course it's going to have love-triangle/date stuff in it. Secondly, relationship stuff is the CW tax. Every show has to pay it, no matter the genre (Nikita to Supernatural). It is unavoidable. Sometimes it fits in and you don't notice it, sometimes it…

And what would change what exactly? Her co-workers do not hate her. They (from what we've seen) do not hate women. They are not misogynistic. Do not rob that word of its power by using it incorrectly.

They may view themselves as superior, but that makes them chauvinistic and/or sexist. It doesn't make them misogynist. They do not *hate* Peggy and/or women in general. Remember the first line of my comment, that we need to stop robbing the word "misogyny" of its power by applying it to situations where it is not…

100% agree. There's nothing sexualised or fetishistic about her handcuffs. As a child she was broken mentally, and likely now sees the handcuffs as an element of comfort; a bit of order now that she's on a mission in enemy territory. It's sick and its twisted, because it shows her mental state and the horrific things…

"… surrounded by misogynist male coworkers…"

So a person said something, and some professional offence takers did what they do best - feign outrage and try to be the most offended people around - and… nothing came of it. Good job Internet!

Yes, Whitford has aged. He seemed so eternally youthful on the show. Yes I'm a huge Josh fan. :-D

I miss this show. I rewatch the entire series every few years. Great stuff.

I'm of the opinion that Homer's brain is far smarter than Homer himself, which is why this will always be my fav Simpson's quote:

LOL! Stirling rebuttal there. Well said. :-D

How was it "pretty on the nose"? It's true to the era it's portraying. The most unrealistic thing about the show is that no one smokes.

Ah good, "Microaggression". Another one of those made up terms that holds no real meaning outside of the nutcase SJW's who think it's real.

You can't be that naive. There is a thing, it's called Tumblr, and it's full of absolute nutbars all trying their hardest to win the Oppression Olympics by being the most offended for the tiniest most innocuous things.

It also makes the assumption that "gendered = bad", as if there aren't traits for both men and women that are not shared by the opposite. Men and women aren't the same, nor are they interchangeable. Each group has certain aspects or traits that the other does not, or at least not to the same degree, and rather than…

I thought the stuff with Raj and the temple was really quite good. As the review said at the beginning it was a very honest moment, wasn't played for laughs (until the very end), and gave us more insight into a character that hasn't had as much development as the rest.
