Feminist Fantasies

The Other McCain vents a bit.
This token “diversity” of many TV and movie casts nowadays — does every police homicide unit in America now have a Puerto Rican lesbian detective? — is a sort of low-level background noise TV viewers have become accustomed to, but why does it seem so many of the plot lines are being scripted by writers who studied Critical Theory in grad school?
A good point, although I disagree with him about many of the movies he appears to dislike — I suspect that he appears to dislike.
Are people turning on prime-time TV to watch entertainment or to be lectured about race/class/gender oppression?
Obviously the latter, since that’s all they’re going to get.
