Season one of AMCs Dietland finally draws to a close, and what a journey its been. Starting from a feminist group murdering for the #MeToo movement, to playing the oppression Olympics, the show is truly the pinnacle of third-wave feminism. To prove that, we leave off on the personal targeting of pro-life members of Congress.
The July 30 season finale Bedwomb has our lead Plum (Joy Nash) actually working inside the feminist murder group called "Jennifer" as they continue their goal of terrorizing the male population. After their mindless male-killing, ridiculous manifesto, and the open degradation of the president as the very worst, the members of Jennifer begin plotting out their next course of action.
You might be wondering, how do you top targeting sexual predators? According to the show, thats attacking pro-life congressmen, and even that might be too tame for these folks.
Sofia: In the meantime, we should be working on our next target. Wells.
Woman 1: But why Wells? There's gotta be somebody easier to take out than a congressman. Someone who means more.
Sofia: Actually, his head of security's about 100 years old, and not so up on the latest.
Soledad: And he is meaningful. He is destroying women's reproductive rights.
Moana: But think about how it looks. The Dirty Dozen. Stella Cross. And then some ancient, backwater congress dude? It looks like we're hurt or something, like we're bitching out.
Jasmine: If you say "Optics" one more time, Moana, I swear to God...
Woman 2: My problem is that you and Sofia think you're the leaders, even though having leaders is patriarchal crap.
Soledad: I used to feel the same way, until I realized how hard it is to get 12 people to agree on anything. I'm beginning to understand why dudes love dictatorships.
Jasmine: What I want to know, what I want to know-- what's our endgame here? We just keep killing people? Until when?
Soledad: Until women feel safer. Until they have some measure of real equality.
Jasmine: But how does that happen?
Soledad: That's why Plum is here. She's gonna help us do that.
Plum: Oh. I-- I don't
Woman 3: Please. We need fresh eyes on this.
Plum: You should go after Congressman Wells. He's a menace to women. And you need to keep the heat on. Keep up the feeling that you're everywhere, and scary.
( All snapping fingers )
Plum: But your messaging needs work, and
Soledad: Thank you for making that so clear. All right. Settled.
Watch out, pro-lifers. Apparently not supporting abortion now makes you a "menace" to society. And that in turn, makes you worthy of death, and not even a memorable one. I cant tell whether that extends to pro-life congresswomen, but considering Jennifers murdered women before, I'm sure they count as well. I cant imagine why the Democrats dont run on that platform.
However, it's kind of funny to imagine politics and squabbling hindering a feminist group. Even as they plot a murder, the women here get caught up on oppressive language, leaders being bossy, and how they look to the public. All the while using codenames taken from Disney princesses. Seems a little sexist to me.
Still, its a fitting end to the season, feminists willing to murder people to protect the right to murder their own babies. Many members of Jennifer are eventually arrested, but their message lives on loud and clear. This is a group of deeply disturbed, self-centered, and thoughtless ideologues. And unfortunately, real life is starting to go down the path of fiction.

Only seen promos of the show through commercial breaks; however, it looks like a terrible show. Never watched it and now I never will.
I remember when they used to show classic movies.
Wake up! Wake Up! Wake Up! Wake Up!
I watched maybe thirty seconds of this POS.
Anyone watching more than that has only themselves to blame.
Sick.
The left can’t distinguish fact from fiction. They act out their desires in fiction.
+1,000 WOW
i read that book but don’t watch the show.
I pretty much abandoned American television as a whole.
Synopsis
The novel follows Plum Kettle, a 300-pound ghostwriter hired to respond to the hundreds of emails written to the editor of popular teen magazine Daisy Chain. Plum fantasizes about being thin and after years of failed diet plans, schedules an appointment for weight loss surgery. While awaiting her surgery date, Plum finds herself recruited by an underground feminist cabal known as “Calliope House”.[5] Meanwhile, a guerrilla group known as “Jennifer” begins carrying out increasingly violent acts of vigilante justice against those who mistreat women, and Plum soon finds herself at the center of a sinister plot.[1]
Development
Sarai Walker was inspired to write Dietland after watching the 1999 film Fight Club. “I came out thinking that I had to write the female version,” Walker said in an interview with Yahoo! Beauty, explaining that it was the film’s “social construction of masculinity, of gender, which makes it fascinating from a feminist perspective.”[6] Walker’s experience working for teen and women’s magazines also inspired much of the novel, with the protagonist of Dietland also being a teen magazine writer.[6

It sounds dreadful.
All the more reason to go armed, in case some of these mentally ill leftists decide to imitate fiction.
