I mean the insinuation that there’s something wrong with it. I mean, I assume you’re a family guy-type who was probably happily married through his 30’s. I personally know two ladies in their 30’s who have recently and reluctantly rejoined the dating circuit. One of them, a bit of a “looker”, goes through guys she meets (both thru Tinder or real life) like dessert at a buffet table looking for the next Mr Right. What Jen is doing is normal for women in todays society even though (Spoiler alert?) the Intelligencia is weaponizing her love life against her. Any adult woman jumping from guy to guy like that is not the norm. A young but well-educated and respectable attorney like herself is going to have a sensitivity to her own self-image. Not allowing herself to be used repeatedly and then regretting the relationship afterwards. I think you personalize these characters too much and then take any reality away from such situations when there is even the hint of dissatisfaction with their portrayal. That's been an on-going problem with your opinions. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She lost her mind with Bruce in Episode 1 over how hard she has had to work to be seen as someone to be respected. And then she is going to tarnish her image without care? The end of Episode 8 demonstrated how furious she is now that her image has been attacked where she went on a rampage. So unless she is schizophrenic the two character paths are not lining up.

What behaviour of hers lead to, and deserves, people organizing a harassment campaign against her that included non-consensually filming her during sex (literally a criminal offence just on its own) - and why should she not be angry about that, especially when orchestrated in front of all her co-workers at a very important moment (and it more than just "embarrassment", it was a complete loss of security and trust and any sense of privacy.

I'm just trying to explain what you questioned in the beginning when I said this to the statement quicksilver said What Jen is doing is normal for women in todays society that is true, that's a change that I've seen. Women look at sex the same as men. that's just how it is in todays society. they enjoy the sex. which i am not sure why anyone here would have a problem with, in fact I think we should encourage it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsilverjanet Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I guess the question is can a woman (on a sitcom) who sleeps with every man she meets, still command respect (on a sitcom) in which that is what she is asking for and not received in the past?

But he kept slipping up with a British accent. That was odd. That old Netflix theme though... As far as this conveying normal practices with women of the times - I have to disagree. I work at a very large company that is led by many high-powered women and most take their image very seriously. And that doesn't mean they are uptight and don't have a fun time. But they are not walking around work proclaiming, "Wow - that guy is really doing it for me!" That's moronic in its messaging that this woman concerned with her image throws that line out so frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you clarify then what you mean to imply by saying "Demands respect for her accomplishments, but then gets angry when her behavior leads to embarrassment." as it sounds like you support the idea she brought this on herself which is tantamount to saying she deserved it. What behaviour of hers lead to embarrassment - and by embarrassment I assume you are referring to the releasing of the video and other private information publicly, correct? jsilverjanet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hanes Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) I have been to shindigs with young corporate lawyers and have partied with young female and young male lawyers..they do lots of 'nonrespectable ' things that young people do....I find it hilarious that people think lawyers are somehow immune to the hormones they have in their bodies and will act differently than the general population Edited October 6, 2022 by Ed Hanes jsilverjanet and piper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what you interpreted in your excitement to defend the show. Nowhere did I state the character deserved to be harrassed. That's how personal some of you are taking this show.
