Olivia Pope Is Basic. Yeah I Said It.
**blog post taken from a Tumblr that I wrote a few months back and it ties in with what I meant on our latest podcast about my problem with Shonda Rhimes’ heroines. This isn’t specifically about Olivia Pope, but all of the mainstream feminine characters that Shonda gives us. If Olivia was one of my girlfriends, I would say the exact same thing to her face. I am not asking for perfect women. I enjoy complex characters. But I am weary of these characters always seeming to lead with their vulnerable vaginas. That simplifies us and we are so much more than that.

I am not quite sure what to call Olivia’s army of stans besides Gladiators, but I guess it will do for this post. So listen up, Gladiators. Your Goddess is BASIC. Yeah. I said it. Adjust your suits and mount up.
