In a preview I saw her talking with Muslim women about their views on what we think when we see them in hijab's (oppression) vs how they feel and I'm looking forward to that as well.

Super explicit but I guess they were quite open about everything until colonialism where other views on sex (mostly shame) were imposed.<br />And I know! They are consuming the anime/manga to safely explore sexuality and the sexes but it's so skewed that I don't know how it could possibly help. It doesn't seem to translate into opening up to each other after so...<br /><br />The show doesn't dive too deeply into anything but it was sooo interesting.

Unfortunately I don't have cable, I hope it comes to hulu at some point. <br /><br />Also I used to read a stupid about of yaoi manga when I was younger, probably not appropriate for my age group.

Like at the bookstore if I see manga I see so much schoolgirl kinda stuff, and I'm like ??? Now I guess I know why. TBH it's a tad creepy to think of older guys consuming that kinda media- I mean to each their own but they must be so skewed? <br /><br />Oh and that's amazing how it dates to the Victorian era. Like we imposed these strict standards and now porn is so prevalent here, and they're all hung up there. Thank goodness the youngers are breaking that mold hopefully...
