Modern Family: Leap Day (2012)
Hysterical Women Trope Sucks
The Hysterical Women trope in this episode was pretty insulting. I don't need to see another poorly written "women are crazy monsters on their periods and men are just poor, poor, innocent victims" storyline ever again, thanks.
The other storylines threaded into the episode we're okay, but the hysterical women trope really killed it for me. It sucks that shows like this reinforce this idea that women are just crazy and emotional all the time, I watched this with my partner and he used it as an opportunity to tell me, among other things, that he relates to "poor innocent Phil" and called me premenstrual for getting upset at him for his comments. Im actually not in that phase of my period right now if you must know, but the sexism I faced in my own house just now because of this episode sucked about as much as a period cramp.
