Despite their clear generational differences, the women agreed on several things. Both were devastated Transparent was being canceled, both were doubtful a show about Claire Underwood alone could sustain House of Cards, and both agreed there had already been a clear backlash toward their female colleagues. I found myself listening in part because I, too, was once a big House of Cards fan – but mostly because this was not something I had considered. As a college senior, it had not occurred to me that the repercussions of the movement might not be as universally positive as the emotion and public narrative would otherwise suggest. I had felt largely optimistic watching the succession of #MeToo moments unfold – in awe of the powerful women coming forward to voice their experiences and grateful for their efforts. If not a fait accompli, I believed (at a minimum) it boded well for women entering the workforce.
