I like The Mandalorian but let's be real, it is (or, rather, should be) straight up ridiculous how male dominated it is. Imagine a show that in its first three episodes, only had one man in a minor speaking role, and every other character of any significance at all was a woman.

You're right, it isn't. I have this weird thing where I want to see societies in which women are more or less equally numerous, equally important and equally participatory as men. Patriarchy just rubs me the wrong way for some reason, I don't know why. https://twitter.com/Bearocalypse/status/1197952388537241611?s=20 …

And She-Ra is in many ways a show explicitly ABOUT centering women, but when shows are so dominated by men, they can still be seen as just "normal" shows.https://twitter.com/ianmclaughlin94/status/1197957293054124032?s=20 …

Never ceases to be wild to me how some people react to even mild criticism of massively successful popular entertainment as if just by uttering such critique, you’re passing a law that prevents anyone from admiring or enjoying that thing.

"Background characters" absolutely matter. When almost every bartender, cab driver, random shop owner and other bit part person is a man, it sends a message. Do y'all know that historically even in crowd scenes, women are drastically underrepresented? https://twitter.com/VarlusMD/status/1197985255027888135?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/jadoU1xOrt

Well, I mean, they could be setting the show's world up to justify a female revolution. Sure. Maybe. Yeah.

Hmmm. You make very valid points. Odd, how I only really noticed it when you said something. It appears I've been unwittingly indoctrinated to it!

Most of us have! Part of how patriarchy works is by seeming so normal and natural as to be invisible.

I mean, unless it spends the back half tearing down the patriarchy that turned the Mando into a person who strongly considers turning in a baby for money. That would be pretty rad. But I definitely don't expect that unless someone was ghost directing this. Favreau can't do it.
