Jacqueline Carlyle in The Bold Type, destroying the ‘horrible female boss’ stereotype.

For viewers closer in age to Hardin’s Jacqueline Carlyle, her version of a woman in charge is a refreshing subversion of this damaging archetype. The younger characters are the stars of the show, but Hardin’s Jacqueline is a nurturing force who pushes her employees to do their better as opposed to whipping them. And it’s under her leadership, and Watson’s careful shaping the story, that Scarlet thrives on support and collaboration as opposed to rivalry.

Jane’s blue ruffled cropped shirt on The Bold Type:

Smocked Cropped Top by Cédric Charlier at Saks Fifth Avenue, $238.80 (was $995)

See this outfit at WornOnTV.net

I’ve been following this blog for years and I have never said anything but I finally need to speak up. 238 dollars. 238 dollars for what is quite possibly the UGLIEST shirt I have ever seen. This shirt looks likes someone spilled coffee on the 3rd ugliest shirt ever created, so they replaced the middle with the second ugliest shirt ever created to make the ugliest shirt in the entire fucking world. If I saw someone wearing this in public I could murder them without getting arrested because it would be fucking self defense

I’m so fucking upset. How dare they. How dare they sell this shirt for 238 dollars and how dare they call that a SALE. This affront to God was originally $995. A thousand dollars to look like a 19th century Lily Pulitzer model.

I think it says a lot about TV’s representation of women in leadership roles that I completely expected the boss woman in The Bold Type to be a complete bitch, and I was confused when she kept being nice to Kat and Jane.

Give me more supportive, caring, strong women in charge instead of the bitchy, aggressive types we’ve come to expect.

ya know what I like abt the Bold Type??? and like sorry if someone else has said this but,, The fact that kat isn’t immediately like disgusted with herself for liking a girl, but we still see the weird struggle of it regardless. Like they showed that weird kinda cognitive dissonance stage of accepting your sexuality without kat falling into the shitty self hatred part of it that TV loves to use as a plot point all the damn time,, good shit good shit
