HBO’s ‘Sex Lives’ Preaches Importance of Chosen Pronouns to ‘Really Dumb Cis Bitch’

In its first week, Mindy Kaling’s new streaming HBO Max comedy College Girls and their Sexual Lives The liberal name-dropping, and wake virtue signaling were too much. Three more episodes were published on Thanksgiving Day. One episode focused exclusively on woke feminists, specifically defending pronouns.

This show is about four college freshman girls living in a dorm room at Essex College in New England. Leighton (Rene Rap), is the mean, closeted girl previously known as the Melania. In episode 3, “Le Tuteur,” she’s doing community service at the school’s Women’s Center because she was caught drinking and vandalizing school property.

As she introduces herself at the center, she stirs up trouble by not falling in line with the use of pronouns and a “safe space” bell. Their over-sensitivity comes off as ridiculous and comical to normal viewers, but Leighton’s put in her place by the leader, Alicia (Midori Francis), because it “really does help people” and disrespecting the sharing of pronouns “makes you suck” and “sound like a really dumb, cis bitch:”

Ginger: It’s wonderful that Susan B. Anthony has been honored by the Essex Portrait Gallery. It’s just that the artist obviously increased her breasts..

Lindsay: It could be symbolic of her femininity.

Tova: Perhaps she did have a large rack. What would she have done??

Leighton: Hey. I’m Leighton. I was convicted of underage drinking. This is why I need to be here.

Ginger: I’m Ginger. Her, she, and her.

Lindsay: Lindsay. She, her, hers.

Alicia: Alicia. She, her, hers.

Tova: Tova. They are theirs, they are them.

Leighton: Hmm. Oh, right. Sure. Well, I’m she. Evidently.

Alicia: Cool. I supervise all volunteers.

Leighton: Oh, great. Let’s talk about scheduling. It was my thought that mornings would be 9:30-10:15 ish. Then, to make it more time-efficient, add an hour to the total.

Alicia: That’s just not the way it works. When we have a need for help, I will tell you and then you’ll come to my aid. You’ll help with the feminist poetry group tomorrow, from 5:00 to 10:00.

Leighton: Fridays are busy, no matter how tempting it sounds.

Alicia, Shit! I did not know that. Perhaps we could just close down all of it until you are free.

Leighton : Ok, I am New Yorker so I know that you are being sarcastic.

Ginger: This is getting a bit tense. I will hit the Safe Space Bell.

Leighton: What?

GingerThe bell is rung when it feels safe..

Leighton: Aren’t these already safe spaces? [ding] Okay. Just saying.— [ding]Oh my God!

Alicia: Ginger, it’s all right. We are helping people, even if it appears stupid. Okay, so we don’t want to hear from you right now. Don’t use pronouns that are not obvious. You’re a complete scumbag. It’s a stupid suggestion that your pronouns are not required when you speak to other people. [ding] I heard it, Ginger! Welcoming to Leighton’s Women’s Center. We look forward to seeing you at the poetry night.

There was also a bit of name-dropping in the new episodes as Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet) raves about Beto O’Rourke’s abs. And when Leighton tells the girls she’s had the “worst day of her life,” Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) mocks her by asking, “Oh my God, did they cancel your reservation at Mar-a-Lago?”

In episode 5, “That Comment Tho,” Leighton tells her brother Nico (Gavin Leatherwood) she’s bringing some of the girls from the center to his frat party. He asks, “Doesn’t the Women’s Center hate frats and want to shut us down?” Leighton replies, “Yes, but everything they know about frats is from the Kavanaugh hearings” and wants to show them it’s “not as bad as they think.”

We’re only halfway through the season, so there’s still plenty of time for more woke virtue signaling, unfortunately.
