In November of 2014, Time Magazine published a list of words that had become so abhorrent to the population of the United States that editors of the magazine suggested banning them.  Among these words, amid non-words like "bae" and "om nom nom" was the dreaded F word.  No, not THAT F word - FEMINISM.  "When did it become a thing that every[one] had to state their position on…?"  which got show creator Maryann Green thinking "What makes someone a feminist?  Or not?  And who exactly is Betty Friedan and does she have anything to say to this generation of women?

 

From Anita Sarkesian's death threats surrounding GamerGate, to Emma Watson's tweets, from man-on-the-street interviews to online comics about unnecessary gendering of products like Lego bricks, from personal experiences to the Why I Don't Need Feminism tumblr, the creators of the show use every means at their disposal to explore the definition and relevance of the dreaded F Word.

 

Drama Queen Maryann Green and the cast of the show hope that the show, in some small way, explores varying sides of the issue, and sparks dialogue between and among audience and actors alike.  "The last thing I want is for this show to be a left-wing-man-bashing-soapbox-diatribe," says Green.
