An appreciation of nuance is not something usually afforded to women on here so I’m going to choose my words carefully (not that it will help tbh) and I’m going to mention TV shows (which you & I may otherwise love ) it’s not personal, so warily but with that love, here goes ….
TV & film has a woman problem. Not all women,just women who aren’t young. For the longest time, discrimination was just something we lived with. People of colour, women, disabled people, gay people -to name ‘just’ many millions,were struggling to see ourselves accurately onscreen
We’re seeing much needed leaps forward in onscreen representation. Gay characters aren’t just comedic caricatures, colour blind casting is opening up roles & disabled actors are not just being traduced to the least interesting thing about them (disability) in hospital dramas.
