Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

A family living in Queens argues all the time as the patriarch of the household tries to rule with an iron fist but fails.
King of Queens? (Or better yet, Kevin Can F**k Himself?)
I've never watched that one, so … no?
Tell me about the show, though. Sounds interesting.
Haha fair enough, it felt like it could have been a dark twist.
Kevin Can Go F**k Himself is really interesting though, and I definitely recommend it. In many ways a dark satire and criticism of King of Queens specifically, but also all of those "goofy" sitcoms with a lead who's an incompetent funny guy.
I don't want to reveal too much though because I think it's best to experience it without prep, but please be warned it can be jarring.
Kevin Can F** Himself* is like King of Queens meets Death Note and I love it.
spoiler
Basically Carrie and Roseanne teaming up to become a crime duo is something I never knew I needed.Do you need to know King of Queens before watching the other one?
If you're passingly familiar with the tropes present in any husband-and-wife sitcom and enjoy feminist themes, I think you'll appreciate the genre deconstruction without any confusion.
That being said, the show bears a strong resemblance to King of Queens, its spiritual successor Kevin Can Wait, and to a lesser extent Roseanne, containing a handful of references to those shows. Having watched all those made me enjoy this show even more.
Shall I give the answer or does anybody else want to take a crack at this?
Hint: think old. Very old. Like me.
Honeymooners?
The people need to know! (And it's too early in the morning for me to guess now 😅)
Who am I to deny The People?
All in the Family.
Dang, that's a good one. The People are appeased!
It's one of the all-time greats. It carefully walked that line between social commentary and comedy and is one of the few shows that had a realistic home for the protagonists. Sort of the anti-Friends in that regard.
