Rihanna just did that.

Would you trust your average daytime TV writer to handle a show about “Me Too” and consent in a respectful, appropriate way? Cause I wouldn’t.

Don’t do it, Gunther. It will start out good and devolve into a rapey nightmare like many of your other projects.

None. But I would be interested in how you saw that story arc.

Bobby doesn’t read The Root, Robby.

Yeah, the “Black Mirror”-style part worried me. Because it’d have to have some crazy, creepy twist like “the powerful men who don’t understand boundaries are the *real* victims here!!” and I’m just not here for that and never will be.

While I agree that the First Lady generally does do a lot of work that should be paid (it sounds like a lot of event planning, interior decorating, even diplomatic and nonprofit work), can you imagine the stink that would have been raised if Michelle Obama acted resentful of all the duties of her position and…

None- that’s kind of exactly what happened.

He’s been pretty clear in interviews throughout his career that he doesn’t get involved in child-rearing. Women’s work, blah blah blah. He only takes an interest in his kids when they’re ready to join the business, because that’s the only value they have to him. Which is to say: I sincerely doubt he’d try for custody…

Yes. Someone once postulated that there must be something in Melania’s pre-nup about her losing custody of Barron if she divorced trump, and that’s why she stays with him. But I honesty can’t imagine trump wanting custody of Barron - unless maybe he’d just give him to Ivanka. I’ve never seen trump and Barron interact…

No. Just stop. If such a thing would be done right, it needs women directors/showrunners. Not Ryan “rape is entertainment” Murphy.

She also went into the gig expecting it would help her sell a brand.

My main concern would be that storyline about Finn and Kurt? The one where Kurt manipulated his father into a relationship so he could be in the same bedroom as Finn? Because he was into Finn and wouldn’t take no for an answer?
And the show portrayed Finn using a homophobic slur in that situation as the main problem.

So not really “Black Miror”-style, but just anthology-style. I was really worried that he was going to do some futuristic, techy, #MeToo mashup and I wasn’t really here for it. I’m also not sure I’m here for the actual idea, but it’s not as bad as I originally thought.

Yeah this whole “unpaid FLOTUS” whinging is a bit ridiculous in an article that also mentions her prenup - which I assume, or I HOPE, has some spousal maintenance clauses in there that outline exactly how well she is compensated for turning a blind eye.

Yeah if Melania ever comes out and says that she fucked up supporting Trump’s campaign and his idiotic racist birtherism and is now miserable and lost then she may gain a smidgeon of pity from me. But she’s going to need to own up to her mistakes first. I’m not going to project forgivable scenarios onto her marriage…

Off topic i know, but why is it always “she is focusing on being a mom, a wife”. He doesn’t appear to be focusing much on “being a dad, being a husband”.

This is such a fluff piece — meaning the WaPo article. Didn’t Sarah Kenzior once write about newspapers in authoritarian countries rehabilitating the relatives around the authoritarian leaders as celebrities and as “normal” moderating influences? We saw that with Ivanka, who was meant to be moderating influence (NOT!)…

Bought and paid for. And she stayed with him, knowing what he was.

Can we not call it a box?
