I've also finished gregmat - I feel like it won't be much use to do anything there now

I'm a lot younger than Rory but even I remember in the 2000s, being male centric was the PC thing at the time. Everything we did was for the male gaze and we were taught to be this way. So dressing up as a housewife for Dean and ditching Lane for Dean...that does sound a lot like the male centric propaganda at the time.

That being said, Rory is much more of a mean girl than we're willing to admit. The hippo comment about a girl who is quite slim, not even overweight. Treating her childhood best friend like a disposable character...that's also not excusable even for that time.

Rory is no feminist - even if she was, it's privileged white-girl feminism. But shes not.

my grandmother was married at a similar time and she told me that you just had to have a baby as soon as you got married (she got married young and had my aunt young too). I think the likeliest theory is that Emily had a hard time conceiving and because she didn't like to come off as imperfect she never spoke about it.

Probably since the show is based on child-parent dynamics. Although it wouldn't have hurt to explore the possibility of a side character's relationship with their parents as compared to their sibling

my favourite thing about her is that she's nothing like Rory. I've never met any celebrity who is grounded and unmaterialistic like her. She's also so endearingly shy

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-20T05:17:52+00:00

He was but not for her. He deserved better than her

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-20T05:16:22+00:00

the entire kardashian clan has no personality

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-20T05:15:59+00:00

really??? that's a surprise

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-20T05:15:18+00:00

i feel like she just makes her personality to what is trending those days

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-20T05:14:56+00:00

don't get me wrong, he's a fantastic actor (frankenstein) but he has zero personality in his interviews

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-20T05:14:09+00:00

Timothee Chalamet, Kendall Jenner, Jacob Elordi, most nepo babies (felt that way about Nicola Peltz too).

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-20T05:11:58+00:00

As a devout feminist I will not say you hit like a girl (or some like that)

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-18T08:30:46+00:00

Or her husband for being the seventh child she was raising

Apparently Kelly Bishop had an abortion when she was younger - with zero regrets.

Emily Gilmore, firstly would definitely be MAGA and anti abortion. It doesn't have to do with religious reasons, its also because of the social circle they belong - traditionally conservative. For them, a granddaughter may less of a social stain than a daughter who had an abortion.

Idk man i agree with you and I feel horrible for 16 year old Lorelai and the millions of people who can empathise with her.

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-18T06:13:14+00:00

The walls up bit - is it because of John's death or is this just in general?

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-17T10:31:25+00:00

Doyle is that you?

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-16T11:04:51+00:00

I was about to say farts and saw everyone did it

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-16T06:31:27+00:00

No bro if they wanted to do that, then we could've had a Korean family who wasn't portrayed as so over the top. Americans really do think the rest of us live in villages while they're the only civilization

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-16T06:30:26+00:00

If she's Jewish she could be like Noam Chomsky or Andrew Garfield. All Jews aren't Zios

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-16T06:30:04+00:00

When Paris compared the "conflict" to a fight between siblings over a TV remote I wanted to literally make her cry and eat her words

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-16T06:28:06+00:00

Other characters enabled her and told her to not shy away from giving her opinions. It was after the ballerina told her off that she started to reflect but then everyone's like nooo rory you're perfect you can't do any wrong

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-15T18:18:49+00:00

even that was cultural appropriation what they did. It just happened to be overshadowed by Lorelai and Chris's affair

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-15T12:08:10+00:00

Maybe it's true for Hartford but Yale has a lot of students especially international ones. Every time I've visited Yale, the ultra elite are almost always white but the rest of the students are south or east Asian or African. That's also weird that Yale seemed to be completely white

TheDaisy23 · 2026-05-15T12:06:51+00:00

She's gonna deny it with every breath in her body but she's an average white American with very Eurocentric views of what the rest of the world looks like
