That is so fetch!

In all honesty though, I quite enjoyed how this article was written. Is there a listing somewhere of articles written like this, with algorithms or concepts explained using analogies to pop culture?

Is that your real take? The girls have the power in that movie they manipulate the boys not the other way around. The adults are oblivious (except for Tina). There is no patriarchy.

> Mean Girls demonstrate how patriarchy shapes young girls, [...]

Of course, young girls have no agency and the only thing shaping them is the mean patriarchy... /s
