one of my favorite lines from our Leftist Teen Drama Gossip Girl ep is when @strideofpride says: "I always joke that Chuck Bass set feminism back 15 years."

honestly everytime i think about chuck i realize a lot of what's wrong with the world nowadays. this was the example of a 'romantic' male character in the 00's!!! lol

✨MOVIE SPECIAL OUT NOW✨Welcome back to Leftist Teen Drama’s series of special episodes covering political moments in teen movies! Maria is joined by childhood friends Rosalie Murray and Dondré Taylor-Stewart to break down the teen feminist film Moxie. We have a soft spot for this group of outcasts who form a feminist movement at their high school, drawing parallels to our own short-lived feminist action in our 2011-2012 senior year. While we celebrate teen girls uniting to fight sexist dress codes, sports inequality, and rape culture, we also critique the lack of meaningful intersectional representation that ultimately places this movie in the “white feminist” category. We wish we’d gotten to watch a more fleshed-out ensemble film rather than what felt like a white woman’s journey propped up by diverse side characters. As Dondré says in our Letterboxd review for this movie: “There’s a world where the palatable avatar for feminism doesn’t have to be a white woman.”
