Obligatory Canadian comment that Orphan Black is Canadian. Now that that’s out of the way: I think this show is a delight! I do not take issue with the character design whatsoever. The point Jen makes over and over again that women can’t really hulk out and have to learn to manage their rage lest they’re seen as… Read more

It’s a well written article and stands on it’s own. Good work, Linda.
gotta tell you, i turned in my copy the day that article went live. this is a month-long piece that was not influenced at all by magary’s (very excellent and very impressive) article. i’m disappointed you (or anyone) would try to make this a journalist vs journalist narrative rather than commenting on issue we’re… Read more
bonkers how you can dismiss thousands of people’s work, livelihoods, and struggles just because “everyone has problems.” if you took the time to read the article maybe you would have a bit more empathy, but it’s clear that you’re only interested in being a neg online. take it somewhere else, and leave the comment… Read more
