Scully Explains Feminism in the BEST WAY.

I've been watching Netflix streamed crime shows lately, particularly ones from other countries. Oddly enough, it was in a serial killer show with Gillian Anderson (SCULLY!!) and Jaime Dornden (Once Upon a Time, 50 Shades) that has boiled down the best description of everyday sexism I've ever seen.

Gillian Anderson, a special police investigator, is being questioned by her boss (a man) for her (completely consensual) one night stand with another cop. She responds thusly:

"'Man fucks woman.'

Man: subject.

Fucks: verb.

Woman: OBJECT.

 

You don't have a problem with that: that's acceptable behavior.

 

'Woman fucks man.'

Woman: subject.

Man: OBJECT.

 

You have a problem with that.

 

It's YOUR problem."
