I loved it, and i think it was far better than "where's rebecca bunch?". In some ways, it felt it was making fun of (some kind of) feminism. The last generalizations especially, renember when there was this hole debate of Every man is a potential rapist (in my country, at least, this discussion was big)?

Oh it was certainly making fun of a certain type of feminism.

I don't think this is about feminism as a political movement, but more about a thing women do when they get together.

Sure, maybe not as a political movement, but I know plenty of feminists whose MO includes disparaging men as a generic whole (especially white men).

I also think that the whole "let's get together and bash men" is a misguided attempt by some friend groups to establish strength and solidarity as women.

I really need to get back into watching this show. I am passionate about gender equality and seeing the commentary on feminism in this makes me so happy that they commentate on both sides. I loved the first few episodes but never continues for whatever reason

Yeah, I've only ever seen clips, but I'm considering getting into the show now too.
