Episode 17 - Just a Lunch
After All: A Mary Tyler Moore Podcast - A podcast by Ariel Fisher and Silvia MacCon
Categories:
Mary finds herself smitten with WJM-TV's returned globe-trotting reporter, John Corcoran. There's just one tiny problem - he's still married. Though separated, Mary can't quite shake the feeling that she's being played. While Mary sorts through her moral conundrum - to date the dashing, separated man, or not? - we discuss the dangers of charming men, being in one-sided, and manipulative relationships. We also discuss the double standard of Lou commending John for his globe-trotting and bed-hopping ways, while looking down his nose at Mary for being attracted to him. From John's total disregard for the institution of marriage, his unwillingness to just get divorced, and what that says of his subtle abuse of his wife, to the ways women are pitted against each other in society at large, White Feminism, Intersectional Feminism, and so much more, this is definitely a fully loaded episode you won't want to miss!
