Let's Talk Supergirl

Anybody remember that scene in the West Wing, where the humorless busy body feminist tells Sam that he's sexually harassing the blonde republican sexkitten, and said sexkitten whips out the Sorken speech of truth on her ass? You know the one. The ham handed screed against SJWs that alt righters wish they could have written, conviently stuck into the mouth of a female character and dressed up as real feminism?

I had flashbacks to that scene, this evening, while watching Supergirl, and she objects to the name and 51 year old Calista Flockhart goes off on the absolutely cringeworthy "I'm a girl" speech.

We're not going to speak of the 'Because she's just a girl?' line. Now, or ever. Best bury that one in soft peat to be dug up later when we can laugh about it.

I feel like I'm watching the feminist show a room full of dudes came up with. Like, I can tell they're trying. I can feel them straining under the pressure of coming up with ways to overtly feminist at me. Maybe if I'm too busy cheering your progressiveness, I won't notice that your heroine is your standard pixie dream nerd who's badass quotient is almost directly correlated with how sexy she looks.

AVfM loved the show. That should say something.

It's possible I'm just bitter. Someone recommend me a show with a real strong female lead. I've already seen Jessica Jones, The Killing, and The Fall.
