Hi there.
Thanks for the podcast. As I was listening to Robin talk about the characters in The Walking Dead, I couldn’t help but disagree with her analysis of Andrea as a strong women. This show (especially in the second season) provides women as a helpless support system who need protection to the male characters. Andrea may have learned how to shoot a gun, but (1) a man showed her how, (2) three men have saved her life, (3) she feels the need to sleep with the man who continuously protects her, and (4) at the end of season 2 she is saved by someone else because after all, she’s just a women. I still love the show, but I impore others to look through the feminist telescope critically at the roles women play.
