proud feminist = redundant?

It's interesting food for thought, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the viewer who notices it holds a particular ontological perspective.

A romantic context is not necessary….that's not the point of the test.

It was more of an observation. I have no idea if she kissed ass with the old captain (I don't think we get to know this?), merely that she is oddly obsessed with the new one in a most overt and ongoing way. Her self image almost entirely relies on what he thinks of her as is evidenced throughout several scenes I…

It's one romance I can get behind.

There's what I know, what I don't know, and what I don't know that I don't know. I think someone wise phrased it better, but this a good example - I didn't know such a detailed history of such things existed! I was specifically curious about First Nations musical anthropology, but sadly a lot of that information is…

I didn't speak to the reasons, merely that she is defined by a man. Which is a cliche that was pointed out to me and now I notice all the time on TV. Women have all sorts of reasons to be approved by men, climbing the ranks is just one of them. Unfortunately, rather than an equal distribution of genders, men dominate…

Hmm that's a good point re: competitiveness. Do you think she cares about Holt's particular accomplishments or just that he's the boss?

Yes I was thinking about that scene but in the end I thought it had to do with how women need to stick together due to male dominance of their profession. Do you think Diaz would have taken pains to bond with Santiago if there were more women police at the precinct?

She only decided she didn't care about his evaluation of her because that is what she knew he wanted. Her original self evaluation, fraught with nitpicks, is reflective of what she thought, then revised it to please him.

Oh dear. It looks like I am going to have to start collecting quotes to illustrate the painfully obvious point that she is obsessive about being approved by Holt, a man, to the point where her self esteem and self worth are defined by his opinion of her. Off the top of my head she puts her life needlessly in danger to…

It's probably not the show for you then. I am curious if you are still watching it.

It's kind of a last resort catch-all meaningless diagnosis where I come from. I welcome more research because if it is a real disease I would like to learn more so I can overcome my incredulity that it exists.

Why, because that is crossing the line?

The effected/affected thing is an unforgivable sin. Pack your knives and leave.

Newtons are for pussies.

Right on, the chinchillas must be so grateful.

Don't worry yourself about it dear. If it has to be explained you won't get it.

Not to mention recovery software.
