I can't pretend to know enough about the details of the case to say for certain, but I suspect that the plaintiffs' firm actively turned this into a class-action type suit for their own benefit. The claim against Regal seems prima facie ridiculous, but less ridiculous lawsuits have won; why not pool some money…

This is poorly framed by the author…I'd like to believe we're at the point as a society in which we accept interracial marriage, and even the most conservative idiots realize it's a thing that's been happening for centuries.

You're deciding that for yourself. "Shrill" is defined as "a very loud, high-pitched sound" by Merriam-Webster. The fact that you associate that with a woman speaks more to your misogyny than anything. Women can have low-pitched voices.

Thanks for this article; I only wish it were published a little closer to the clutching-of-pearls/wishing-death-upon-a-man reactions this site saw when the Esquire piece was published.

Oh lord…I know you're joking but just seeing that sentence makes me go no TV and no beer something something.

Which shows are you talking about? With something like Arrested Development, for example, they produced one original season and that gives them license to label the entire show as a 'Netflix original'…
