Jill Soloway To Produce Feminist Comedy In Development At MTV“MTV has inked a development deal for a comedy comedy from Transparent creator Jill Soloway and the Upright Citizens Brigade duo Lyle Friedman and Ashley Skidmore (Younger). The untitled project is about two young girls who meet at summer camp and bond over their passion for second-wave feminism. During a wild night in the forest both girls are struck by lightning and their friendship, power and destiny is fatefully sealed. Now, 10 years later, they romp around town hell-bent on saving all of womankind (if only they could save themselves first).” Read the full piece hereBefore the comments begin, let me note that I haven’t forgotten Soloway’s transphobic post on Facebook, and the betrayal that was for the trans community. I’m not letting her off the hook for that, but if we kicked every flawed individual out of the movement for equality, we’d have a much weaker force. Many or most of us shouldn’t throw that stone, this was a doozy but we all make mistakes, and hopefully we learn and grow. Let’s give her the chance to do good, and having an explicitly feminist show on TV is a GREAT thing, I’m excited to see how this plays out. -- source link
