When I think of feminism I think of Gilmore Girls. Lorelai and Rory Gilmore are best friends and strong, willing women, to me this is what the definition of feminism should be. This week I watched one episode on particular, "That Damn Donna Reed", which has Dean, Rory's boyfriend, describing that a woman should cook and clean. Rory decides that she'll show him and in turn dresses up in a perfect 60's get-up with the pearls and white high heels. Rory cooks dinner for Dean, trying to be what Dean considers "a woman". Dean realizes that he was wrong in his thinking and that being a woman is being anything that the said woman wishes to be. I really think that this eipsode shows feminism in such a fine way because it begins with the typical stereotype of feminism and then switches to what the Gilmore girls define feminism as.
