[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot stand insecure Miranda. I cannot believe for a second that Harvard law corporate lawyer would be so insecure and meek about anything. She’s insufferable with the way way she gushes when the author flirts and how inferior she feels at human rights. She’d be annoying anyway but this contradiction is impossible to ignore. [/quote]

I think it's realistic when you hit middle aged and become invisible. It's hormones plus the confident adult body begins to fail. You get thicker, saggier, not as sharp.  It can be a real hit to the self esteem[/quote]

Are you 25? Because that’s not my experience at all.  We are aware we’re no longer hot but we are also more confident than ever. [/quote]

That's great but a lot of us are not "more confident than ever." So Miranda's story is relatable.

Actually I think one of the things this show is doing well is showing the vulnerability of women in this age group, and how awkward and hard this transition can be. Whether it's transition out of your first career into a second, empty nesting, returning to work after an extended period as a SAHM, unexpectedly dating again after being widowed young or getting divorced, etc.

Sure, we know we're SUPPOSED to be super confident and "know our worth" and all that. But it's not how it feels. Transitions are hard.[/quote]

And I really like they're showing these characters struggling - and trying, and succeeding, and failing - in so many different ways.[/quote]

I think they make women in their 50s look pretty bad. It’s improved some but mostly I feel like there are zero 55 year old women writing this script.  [/quote]
