Orange Is The New Black

imperfect_cupcake · 09-17-2013, 07:30 PM

I player the first episode to two.of my straight girl friends (context: they weren't in it for watching the hotties) and they loved it so much they stayed till 3 am and watched the whole series. Why? Because they were relieved that there was finally a TV show that wasn't about 1) men 2) women's relationships with men 3) how the women support men 4) how much women would like to be with men.
And they were ecstatic every episode passed the The Bechdel test ( asks whether a work of fiction features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man). 2) this was about women's lives. In context to each other, not men.

They all found Piper to be utterly annoying and antagonistic. But they loved crazy eyes. And Tasty. A lot.

"I like how pipers ignorance is laid bare and when she whines she looks like a complete asshole. I love all of the womens stories. And barb, bullshit crazy eyes is not your type. We've seen you with women more bat shit than her!"

Then they all laughed and nodded and said she was probably better than half of 'em. They meant it sincerely.

So that's two straight gals and a dyke mate that night that think CE is kinder and saner than half my exes....
