    Boy Meets World in Hindsight

    My biggest issue with watching this episode now is the blatant sexism used against women to create a very catty/narcissistic narrative centering around Shawn and his past. This is, of course, just a TV show, but for someone to perceive the world in this way creates a disconnect because it is so delusional.

    Racism, domestic violence, and kidnapping

    Wow talk about a f'd up episode. Let's start with the racism. While yelling at Topanga, Angela calls her a little white girl. Imagine if the roles were reversed and Topanga called Angela a little black girl. It would be a media frenzy the next day. Now let's move on to the domestic violence. When Topanga sees Cory for the first time after reading Lauren's letter, in a fit of rage, she slams him into a locker knocking him to the ground. Imagine if Cory was mad at Topanga and just decided to slam her into a locker. Finally there's the kidnapping. What the heck was that about. Shawn is a dog, so three girls decide to trick him into going to the boathouse. They then handcuff him trapping him in the boathouse. Nobody seems to care that this is a felony
