Shondra Rhimes tweets. And asks for diversity on "Bunheads".
Amy Sherman-Palladino responses with it's a shame women do not support other women.
I agreed with Rhimes. I still do. What I find shameful is:
It's 2012, your show lacks diversity and you play the "women do not support other women" card. It's 2012. Being called out on diversity is embarrassing. And don't refer to your lack of budget.
As a woman, if another woman becomes critical of me I'd do my best to appreciate it and listen. If Rhimes was a man, would her initial criticism be lost in a tangent issue? Having trouble listening to an ethnic minority? I can play cards too.
Sherman-Palladino, cut the excuses. Own up to your flawed show. Jumping on the patriarchal defensive was too easy.
And for all the women angry with Rhimes, focus on the goddamn issue at hand: lack of diversity in 2012. That's where your anger should be focused. How did you challenge your anger during the "Girls"... Right. What anger?
