No, it's more nuanced than that. Little boys and girls are all told they'll be able to do anything if they work hard enough and be nice to others. Whether or not that's true is beside the point.
Later, though, it's perfectly fine to dismiss Jake on Two and a Half Men as kind of slow and 'not going to college' such that it's a joke that bears repeating. Lulz, his dad is spending what was supposed to be his college fund, lawl, wow, that kid doesn't know where Paris France is.
If you applied the same standard - "Wow, that kid just sounded like he's uninformed about something" - to Legally Blonde, then it's an unfair and unjust presumption that a blonde has unrealistic expectations for law, what sort of preparation you need before going to trial, what sort of rigors you face in a murder trial, and just how long it takes to get the nuances of being a trial lawyer.
If anything I'd hoped this show could highlight that yeah, you can be a woman and have a good head on your shoulders and still make silly, rash, stupid, or boorish decisions and you're not a worse person for it --
BUT GOD HELP YOU IF THAT PONY IS CROSS-EYED, THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE KIDNEY-KICKING THE DIFFERENTLY ABLED. |
