Ma’am, *salutes* THANK YOU FOR THE ABUNDANCE OF 1995 PERSUASION GIFS! I cry for all that agony and hope.

Sorry it took awhile to answer this, but YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY WELCOME!

@mswyrr replied to your text post: is that the one where Josh, a canonically straight man, "defends" gay marriage

Yes that's the one!

BTW, if you haven't listened to West Wing Weekly I highly recommend it! Not only do they recap and discuss the episode but because Joshua Malina is part of the podcast, they get to interview the cast and writers so you get a lot of behind the scenes look to the show!

@mswyrr replied to your text post: though sorkin did something similar with ainsley (having her argue against the ERA so sam, a man, could take the "feminist" position) so potentially it is more of a sorkin-esque thing than a 1990s thing

Oh man. That ERA thing, a lot of the things I used to think were awesome moments especially that one in rewatch makes me cringe because, wow was Ainsley's argument there very limited. It only covers such a narrow scope.

Also Amy Gardener makes me cringe now.

@thatgeeklover replied to your text post: Sometimes they hit the nail in the head, sometimes they're just looking for a for a fight? (I'm not sure how to explain this but there have been episodes where they're pushing for "Sorkin Can't Write Women lol")

There are times when they seem to be pushing things, sometimes derailing the podcast discussions, on the other hand, I do like that they are aware and they do question, which opens up a dialogue about it.

There are things now that I do question about Sorkin's choices, especially regarding Donna. I'm also looking at the Amy Gardner episodes in the rewatch because my last rewatch I bounced off so hard from her and I remember I used to like Amy.

(They do execute her better than poor Mandy.)
