Scandal is one of the most popular TV series playing today. It is aired on ABC Thursday Nights. In this episode in particular, the character Red who is the White House Press Secretary goes on a rant about the challenges she faces as a women in politics. Her rant (21:30) displays every aspect we have discussed in this class. She talks about how she is defined by a man, how they critique her looks, her weight, the way she dresses, what it is like to be oppressed. I think it is really interesting and cool that such a hit-series is showing light towards feminism.
