Marine Area: «Are women the worst enemies of women? Dollface’s lesson “

There is a phrase that has always made my antennae vibrate, a phrase that I hear very often and that makes me understand that those in front of me have little knowledge of the oppressive system in which the female gender is immersed, namely: women are the worst enemies of women.

There was a time when I too believed that dating male friends was easier, that their way of organizing thoughts and relationships was better, and that relationships between women were instead governed by competition. Then I understood: if there is a structured system that allows some people to excel at the expense of others, what better way than to make women believe that they are their own worst enemies, thus unknowingly becoming complicit in the system that oppresses them?

This is the reason why for some time now, with the specific intent of overturning this imposed belief, I have begun to enjoy all those products that try to subvert this axiom, celebrating the complicity between women. Dollface is one of them.

This series by Hulu, which is coming to Italy on April 27 with the second season on Star, the Disney Plus channel, she tells us the story of Jules struggling with the so-called sisterhood from which she has always deliberately kept away.

In the first season Jules, played by Kat Dennings (2 Broke Girls), she has just been dumped by her boyfriend Jeremy (Connor Hines) who tells her, on the spot, that he doesn’t love her anymore. At that point, after an initial bewilderment, she finds herself in a dream sequence on a bus driven by an anthropomorphic cat, headed for the terminal “only for women returning from a relationship“. Arriving at the terminus, a voice on the loudspeaker tells her to hug her friends again and go to the collection of the emotional baggage. But Jules has no friends waiting for her, and after waiting for someone to show up at the passenger exit, she realizes she is alone because, as she tells her at the information desk, her friendships have “expired”. During his relationship Jules neglected his friends who slowly ended up drifting apart. Thus begins, at the suggestion of the cat woman, Jules’s plan to regain the lost friendship of Madison (Brenda Song) and Stella (Shay Mitchell).
