Just saw this & thought you might want to read it. I didn't read the whole thing.

The main "anti-feminist" point the article seems to be making is that women should fight with and react to men in order to be properly feminist. I really don't see it that way. As I said, I think the point was to make it more like a gender swap thematically. There are tonnes of shows where men fight against men and we call that plot. Women fighting women can be the same thing. What I got from this season was that the male characters were just not that important and not that developed, which is how most media portrays women generally.

I didn't even know that last episode was the season finale. I went a couple weeks without seeing a new episode and was all, WTF?!

I'm totally unhappy with how that ended.

This season ended so differently than the other seasons. I was kind of expecting everything to be nicely wrapped up in the second to last episode and then have some epilogue in the final episode.
