“The Bold Type” Gives Us a Muslim Lesbian and Unapologetic Feel-Good Feminism

Scarlet isn’t interested in acquitting itself to any man. And as the magazine repeatedly rejects the reductive assumption that sex and feminism and fashion and politics can’t coexist, so does the show itself.

“GLOW” Does a Lot of Things Right, Just Not Queer Representation

Ah, the 1980s, when clothes and hair and music were hella dope but women were given the same courtesy as plants in Hollywood. Then along came women’s wrestling to shake television and gender roles way the fuck up.

“Claws” Features a Butch Lesbian, a Bisexual Crime Boss and a Chance to Stop Talking About “Breaking Bad”

Claws is not Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is not Breaking Bad if Walter White isn’t a white man cloaked in respectability. You share that narrative through the eyes of a struggling black woman, a recent parolee, a recovering addict, a lesbian and a former sex worker, and the story changes completely.

“Brown Girls” Shows Women of Color Coming of Age in a Way We Never Get to See on TV

Hollywood’s reluctance to tell the stories of brown girls has always been rooted in — well, racism; but more precisely— the myth that white stories are neutral and, as such, are more relatable to the broader audience. Brown Girls disproves that myth, creating an imminently relatable coming-of-age story.
