Law and Order Article

In this article the quote "The series thus revives existing myths blaming motherhood for a range of personal and social problems at the same time that it legitimizes certain elements

of feminist analyses of rape" really stuck out to me. I thought it was interesting that they believe the show really focused on showing mothers in a different light. Usually, women are shown as passive and not as people who cause problems throughout society. I think that this show's focus on crimes against women really is a good thing because it puts a spotlight on a lot of the wrong doings in the world. One thing I did not agree with in this was that it said women are monstrous and are the cause of many social problems. I do not see why a show would show women as people who destroy their family's and commit crimes. Another part of the article, where they say that women cops is something against the norm is not something that I agree with. I see no reason why it is not acceptable for women to be in the police force. This article was very interesting in showing how feminism can be displayed in different ways through a television show.
