How I wish I had found your blog sooner!!! I’ve been looking for ideas that show how feminism has changed the portrayal of women in American sitcoms. Teaching in France, I need to find a “problematic”/”a big question” to which students can argument the pro/cons – good/bad….
But I’m stuck, for I cannot/haven’t yet found any articles to support the question I had chosen: “To what extent has the role of feminism in American sitcoms influence the lives of American women and vice versa?”
Sooooo….
I’m looking for a different “problematic” (thesus-type question).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance! or… Merci beaucoup!

Then the man sitting next to me would repeat what I’d just said and suddenly it was GENIUS!”

Oh!! That is so frustrating. I had this happen several times at a “barn raising” kind of meeting last fall. It was mostly men. They had a white board up, would put up measurements and calculations, and I would give them the answer they needed. There would be silence. Then one of them would stand there with a dry erase marker and do calculations, and eventually get the number I gave them. Never underestimate a quilter. Lol.

I’m with you, Shea–in love with the Cheerios commercials. If anyone hasn’t seen the multiracial one, here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qkJHgkUzDA Absolutely adorable! And it features a smart, involved dad. My impression is that the response has been mostly positive, but that it has also sparked debate–which is not a bad thing either.

So empowering to realize we have an opportunity to shape destiny with our words as writers.

But it seems that we are BECOMING the joke, and thatโ€™s uncool”
I think that is an eloquent sentence indeed… And what we watch on TV is a reflection of who we are… Stereotypes are an exaggeration of a type, mostly shaped statically!. Sometimes they are fallacies, but not always!. Regards, Aquileana ๐Ÿ˜€

I couldn’t agree more with this. I don’t think people realize how much the things we take in via the media impresses upon how we view ourselves and the world around us. Most of us like to think we’re immune to that sort of thought control, but the reality is, we’re not. It takes effort to think outside of the mold that we grow up in. It takes stepping outside of a bubble we think of as comfortable. For a lot of people, the media made stereotypes are easier to accept as reality than actually looking at reality for what it really is, and it’s damaging on a lot of levels to a lot of different people.

Yeah, I get a little excited too when I hear about someone named Hanna who spells it without the extra “h.” ๐Ÿ˜‰

I loved being homeschooled too. I’m so glad my parents thought of it before I got run through the public school machine.
