So yes, I get more than enough of this in my daily life, and my question is, in fandom - where everybody is willing to discuss (the very valid issues of) Martha the maid, female characters being hated and ignored because they’re female and not male, het sex being thought of as gross and needing specific warnings, miscegenation, whether 'playing ( Read more... )

They don't have to think about it because that is their privilege.
This is a wonderful post, Greenie, and I wish I was there in person to hug and applaud you. (Somehow, hypothetically, I'd have four arms or something, so I could do it simultaneously. ;)) Your mind is such a beautiful thing, just like your heart.

TV shows with Jewish families valkyrie4clex September 10 2007, 02:29:06 UTC
There were at least 2 shows that i remeber. Someone always mentioned BROOKLYN BRIDGE - pretty good show but it didn't last long. There was also a series in 2001-2002- -2 seasons - called STATE OF GRACE - I liked it a lot - it was like a buddy show with the protagonists being two young girls instead of the typical boy buddies. One girl was Jewish and one was Catholic - one was from a born in the south family,the other girl's family had moved there to open a factory. It was very good tv- interesting characters and situations.
