What “Pose” Taught Me About Womanhood
The women of “Pose” must assert their womanhood over and over again and it got me thinking about what it means to a woman…
Watching and Loving the White, Male “Stranger Things”
Can a show that’s white and male still expand who can be a hero, who’s worthy of our attention, and who deserves to have their story told?
Queer Eye’s Deanna Munoz is a Tearful Portrait of What it Means to Be Latina Today
Queer Eye is delightful in its ability to make life look simple. A haircut, wardrobe refresh, and a new recipe can transform someone into the best version of themself. But we all know life outside of reality television is not so simple. Our families are complicated. Our politics are complicated. Our country is complicated. And […]

Four Reasons Why Charmed is Heir to Buffy’s Legacy
I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I watched it live, made sure I hadn’t missed an episode with the DVDs, and read all the think-pieces I could (and there are a lot).

The founders of Mujeres Problemáticas discuss their […]
Discovery: Where to Boldly Go?
The second season of Star Trek: Discovery ended with a major cliff-hanger: Michael Burnham and the gang catapulted through space and time and we have no idea where/if/when they will end up. To get to this moment, they had to battle artificial intelligence hell bent on “destroying all sentient life,” chase down an emo Spock and deal with his daddy-issues, solve […]
Killing Eve Presents the Terror of Male Entitlement
Everyone has a weakness, even our favorite female assassin. From the moment we met her, Villanelle has been nearly bulletproof. Able to anticipate and manipulate any situation, she’s maintained her confidence and dominance, until this week’s episode. For the first time since Killing Eve began, we see Villanelle like never before — scared and vulnerable. After stealing […]
