A foray into how pliable reality is for many North American women.

"I threw a singular fry at him."

"... so I continued with the fries."

Somehow, in her brain, it all makes sense to throw food at someone whose only threat to her was words.

Not just North American women, women in general find truth very pliable. I don't think they see it as lying, more as a way to maintain social acceptance.

This girl is so messed up in the head...
She gained "fame" from the netflix show Orange is the new Black.
I was told she is some kind kind of lesbian icon for the youth today by one girl.
A few girls have mentioned they would go gay for her based off seeing her in that show.
Shes a "DJ" as well.

Either way she's a piece of trash. Only children throw food.
To think young girls look up to her as some kind of role model is disgusting.

I've never watched OITNB, but I remember seeing a bunch of girls on my twitter feed raving about how hot this chick was when she joined the cast. Needless to say I was disappointed

In fact, aside from the main character none of the girls in this show are attractive. Seriously, the average 1/10 rating is probably a 3.

So this Netflix only TV show is about women in prison?

It's the perfect vehicle to display every facet of the go-grrl personas, from fat dyke to thin dyke who isn't very dyke-y yet, but she will be soon.

It only purports to be about women in prison.

It's really about pushing lesbianism and transgenderism on the populace and claiming it's normal. At least years ago, shows like "The L Word" and "Queer as Folk" were upfront and honest about what their agenda was. This one is more insidious.

The show was actually based on a book by a woman about a year she spent in prison. Why Netflix chose to make that book a series, as opposed to many others, is the question.

And I'll answer that question now:

This show, more than anything else in society, gave the media the opportunity to put the issue of transgenderism front-and-center now that the controversy over gay marriage has quieted down some.

Below is the star of the show, Laverne Cox, on the cover of Time Magazine. Laverne is a man -- a "transgender" man.

Instead of dealing with that specifically, I'd prefer we all think "Why this and why now?" Why would the media promote this on the COVER of the biggest news magazine around?

Once again, I don't think this has to do with selling issues. Kate Upton in a tiny bikini or Ryan Gosling in his underwear would do that. In fact, this is the kind of thing they'd do in the 1990s. So here we are in 2016 with The Thing on the cover:
