Talking Meme: Sharon Raydor, Feminist

[singerdiva01_sk]

As part of the ongoing talking meme some of us are doing, today I'm tackling astreamofstars question: Talk to me about Sharon Raydor as a character. What's your take on her? What do you love about her? If you've watched her in The Closer as well as Major Crimes, how do you feel about the differences in portrayal from a feminist perspective?

Thank you for this! I wasn't sure if you'd seen Mary in The Closer, so I'm glad to see that you've watched both shows now :)

I really enjoyed Sharon's role being so feminist back in The Closer. It's something I wish we'd seen more of in Major Crimes, because I feel like that aspect of her has been sidelined to some extent. I would love to see something in the upcoming season that delves into that more. Her support of Brenda did stand out for me in sharp contrast to Brenda herself, who was in many ways far less feminist, to my mind.

I would also love to read more of your thoughts on her and her wardrobe and her relationships and on the show!

I think you have my email address, but you can always PM me if you haven't, and you'd like to talk in more detail about the show. I'm always up for a discussion of some kind :)
