what about that episode of the golden girls where blanche's daughter wants to undergo artificial insemination because she wants to have a baby even though there isn't a man or anyone she wants to have one with, meanwhile dorothy's mother sophia is trying to avoid going to the doctor against dorothy's wishes. and it takes some time for blanche to come around on the idea of her daughter having a baby alone, but when she finally comes around to going to the sperm bank if the gals will go with her, sophia's like "ohhh boy we're goin to the sperm bank 😈😈😈" and dorothy's like "you're not going anywhere if you're not going to the doctor first" and sophia huffs like "😒 all right fine! I'll go to the doctor but this better be one great sperm bank 😤"

#ive always thought it was pretty cool how the show chose to represent blanche's daughter choosing to have a baby that way #people talk a lot about golden girls plot lines that were really progressive for the time #but i don't think ive heard anyone bring up that one in the same vain #i feel like people don't even think of that as an option for someone wanting to have kids unless they're gay #rather than willfully single although that may not be easy in our economy #make more jokes about sperm banks too tho #make more of them. more jokes about sperm banks!#i got home around 10pm and in the shower i couldn't remember if i took my nighttime meds #so i guess im just gonna wait around a few hours and find out. sheesh #golden girls #shut up kaily
