Gender-oriented programs such as 2 Broke Girls and The Ellen DeGeneres Show remind us how media is changing culture and politics and how the first female contender for the office of U.S. President (Hillary Clinton) almost made people dream about the first potential female world leader.
That's really the power of theater --- reaching the people.
The two waitresses from 2 Broke Girls (Max and Caroline) remind me of new age actresses who make pro-populism storytelling nicely conducive to comic book stylized 'pedestrianism art' (e.g., Ebonics rap, punk rock, etc.), and you just don't find that kind of free-speech 'intellectualism' in much more conservative nations such as Iran, Cuba, and North Korea.
I guess I just wanted to say...thanks Hillary!

MAX: Imagine if I was Anne Hathaway and you were Katie Holmes!
CAROLINE: We'd not only be dating movie stars (i.e., Tom Cruise), we'd get better tips.
MAX: I bet Hathaway and Holmes are making some comic book film about Spider-Woman and Firestar!
CAROLINE: I used to read Spider-Woman/Firestar comics (Marvel) when I was a little girl.
MAX: Well, prepare to get really jealous if this new 'diner life' fails to satisfy.
CAROLINE: We've had two very beautiful First Ladies in a row now (Michelle Obama and Melania Trump).
MAX: Tom Cruise said in one of his films (Magnolia), "There are women out there who want to destroy me!"
CAROLINE: I've heard rumors he's harsh with female friends intolerant of his 'Scientology beliefs.'
MAX: Well, when you're strutting in Tinseltown, no one cares if you're an angry sort.
CAROLINE: Don't kids pay attention to who's playing comic book superheroes/heroines?
MAX: Not if it's Anne Hathaway and Katie Holmes...that's certainly gender approved!
CAROLINE: Maybe there should be more female censors in Hollywood --- they'd be more 'maternal.'
MAX: Half the customers in this diner hope you and I are superheroines and not waitresses.
CAROLINE: That's what Hathaway and Holmes should make a film about --- women in the work-force!
MAX: There's already one of those --- Working Girl (starring Sigourney Weaver and Melanie Griffith).
CAROLINE: I think the only true American heroines are Bonnie Parker and Jackie Kennedy.
MAX: Would you rather be a witch or a superheroine?
CAROLINE: I'd consider being a female supervillain (e.g., Black Cat or Poison Ivy!).
MAX: I can't afford to look like a terrorist...
CAROLINE: If Hillary is President, I bet she'll make a babysitter's club for American women in the work-force!
