Lessons in Sexism, scratch that - Preached Sexism screamed from the roof tops
13 October 2023
Initially I felt this had a sortof 'Masters of Sex' vibe to it, in fact even the opening titles were reminiscent of MoS - however lack of tact when dealing with the issue of sexism, unlike with the afformentioned - becomes off-putting to say the least. Personally I very much welcome a feminist agendum however I can't understand why the writers felt they had to brow beat us with 5 standard examples within the first fifteen minutes? Why assault us with the same old "you'd look prettier if you smiled" line rather perhaps some nuanced tangential examples of the ripple effects of sexism that demonstrate how it's an institution, deliberately crafted by males? - sadly after writing all of that I still haven't addressed the show proper and all the fun science et al, I had been eagerly waiting for - and even sadder still, because it is in fact mostly a vehicle for sexism than a show about one womans accomplishments - nonetheless I am still enjoying it.
