Analysis | Where do kids learn to undervalue women? From their parents.

Even progressive spouses don’t divide burdens equitably. The children notice.

It’s funny because in the marriages of people close to me, I am seeing the complete opposite of this but I don’t doubt it’s still out there. It was when I was growing up, for sure.

Helena’s Twins

Were those twins always going to be boys?

Manson: No. We left it wide open. We were trying to figure out what we liked the best. I don’t think we really decided it until halfway through the last season. There was something about knowing these boys are going to be brought up by this family of women that they will be progressive men. That they will be raised right, that they will respect women and that some of the evil patriarchal things that the show has worked so hard to expose, those things that we vilified, we can now feel safe about a new generation of men being raised by these women.

Fawcett: And then it was about what do we name them. Graeme just killed it by naming them Arthur and Donnie. That was a really moving moment, discovering that Helena named her two boys after those two men. I remember Kristian Brunn, he didn’t read the script until the table read. And when he read that he just started bawling. It was an incredibly moving moment when he realized that Helena had named one of her kids after him.
