If you've ever enjoyed an American situational comedy, only to go back and watch it later in life and realize how problematic the show was, this site is for you! Let's face it situational comedies become popular because they make people laugh and tune out from their own lives--but while you've been chuckling at some ridiculous shenanigans, these jokes actually normalize the gross capitalist cis-heteronormative patriarchal ideologies you detest. And while others may call you a feminist kill joy for critiquing distasteful jokes that perpetuate stereotypes, arming yourself with theory can help you continue to enjoy these trash shows but resist falling prey to hegemonic ideas. You may be a Roxane Gay "bad feminist", but if you wanted to you could obliterate the trash you watch with academia and thats totally a skill you can put on your resume!
