Summary

I've been studying — really studying — the game since I was a kid!'"I stan Mean Girls, and my queen Tina Fey gets so many things on POINT in that seminal sleepover film. Not only does the movie make a punchline out of a man having an emotional breakdown, but they also tie it to being "womanly." Apparently, estrogen makes you say things like, "I'm anxious and bloated; do my thighs look fat in these shorts," and, "My nipples hurt." Hmm. Nick (Mel Gibson)'s character undergoes a transformation when he gets the magical ability to read women's minds. Fat-shaming pervaded many aspects of early 2000s films and television, from Love Actually to Friends. The entire premise of the movie is that you should change to get boys to like you, and apparently boys only like women who are not too smart, too slutty, too dumb, or too outspoken.Michael Scott is supposed to be the super cringeworthy boss we all love to hate, but the show makes it OK that he sexually harasses women all the time, both above and below him on the corporate ladder, often egregiously.
