The Bold Type - 2x05
#the bold type#theboldtypeedit#kat edison#jane sloan#aisha dee#katie stevens#the bold type spoilers#the bold type 2x05#oooh#tackling white privilege#where the lead admits she has it and was wrong about it#I do wish they'd covered a few more things but not because I'm criticizing this#it'd just have been a good spot to include them#1) that there are different kinds of privilege and they all intersect differently#kat has privilege because of certain things and very much does not in other ways#but what she could have brought up for jane to immediately *get* it was how jane probably understands male privilege#she very probably is able to understand when she walks into a room and they're mostly men yes?#especially how in the fashion world for once she probably isn't outnumbered which makes places like the board meetings stand out more#or how going into non-fashion writing she could have noticed the difference#it'd have been less 'one person explaining to another' and more a convo where jane could have been like riiight#2) would have been nice for kat to throw back to just a little while ago where she herself wasn't really keeping that aware of race#3) though lmao I can't fault kat for not saying this one but...it also sucks to bring it up because people get confrontational and defensive#why would she bring it up the way jane reacted? nobody wants to be the buzzkill friend#she handled it really well overall though#she's so personable and nice and clearly well-intentioned that people always believe in her
