@Amish Gupta Regarding the show being pseudo-feminist propaganda, I found it to be the opposite. It was an intriguing show and it highlighted some of the more visible issues that women face in society in a clever manner (by making the male protagonist walk a mile in women's shoes). I find it fascinating that it never occurred to you that a possible reason as to why it may seem unnatural to you to see a portrayal of childbearing and menstruation as a curse (although I didn't see it portrayed as such) may be due to the fact that you haven't experienced either personally (my apologies if I mistakenly assumed your gender). Speaking from firsthand experience, it's hellish and it was accurately depicted because women do feel tremendous pain and are hindered (at their work, in their social/daily life, etc.) due to both, blessing or not. |
@Naomi Read I admit that being a biological male I have no credibility when it comes to commenting upon the emotional or physical stress caused by child bearing or menstruation, I however have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of demonizing both of those experiences instead of trying to destigmatize & normalize them, especially menstruation. Making the protagonist scream while lying down on a road as soon as their period starts seems a tad regressive to me. I get the intent of the scene is to highlight how awful the society thinks it is to menstruate, but it simply reinforces that very idea without making any attempt to shift the discourse. The only reason I label it pseudo-feminist is because despite the show's attempt to to talk about both male and female 'privilege', the discussion is heavily one-sided. Not to deny that almost everything shown in the series is unfortunately still the reality for millions of women, I however was hoping for a more gray than black & white narrative. |
