i know everyone on my dash who is reblogging this and saying “me” and “intro post” and “gpoy” means this in a serious way, means that they identify as feminist and talk about feminism and sometimes tell assholes they’re being assholes. but, um, jess was using this to scare the dude away? this is not something jess actually does. this was meant to be a joke that i didn’t really find funny. as though someone going on a feminist rant is hilarious, as though feminism itself is a joke. and i feel so strongly about this that i am adding it as a caption and not leaving it to tags. i like this show, i like jess, this episode made me cry, but this? this joke in context? :/

My layout is sort of ridiculous w/ captions. We are discussing this line from New Girl 1.24.

But, wait — Jess has gone on feminist rants in the past. While it may not be on the regular, she has. And though I am not sure if Jess necessarily identifies as a feminist, she has presented a lot of feminist ideology throughout her friendships and characterization. Like, honestly speaking, given the episode was written by a woman and line was presented by a woman, I don’t see what’s harm in saying things like “I go on feminist rants” to scare men off? That’s a thing I do all the time, along with poking fun a lot of things that deal with my oppression, but that doesn’t mean I take the movement less seriously¹. I mean. If this line appeared on Big Bang Theory or other comedy with a male showrunner, yeah. I would most likely be annoyed. But it’s Elizabeth Meriwether. Small potatoes.

¹Well.

Mais non! Kalie, I hope you realize though today is your birthday, you gave me the better gift. I know I have said this once — twice or, even, thrice — before but I’ll say it again. You’ll love New Girl. You’ll be a big Jess fan. Cece will be the utmost charming. I have never been more sure of something in my life tbh!
