AKA: a bunch of my collected random thoughts, mostly previously posted on Reddit. I noticed this while rewatching Season 6 during the summer 2016 mini-hiatus, and was confused. An observation, rather than a rant.

I don’t know why this kind of jumped out at me, but has anyone noticed… almost all the episodes this season have been written by men? Like, off the top of my head, I think we’ve had one episode this season where the script was written by a woman.

I’m not going off on some sort of SJW quota quest, and indeed I don’t really believe it’s had any particular bearing per se in terms of the resulting show – some of these Season 6 episodes have ranked right up there with my personal favourites – but for a show originally entirely conceived by a woman, aimed (officially) at a predominantly female audience, with a mainly female cast, an awesome female storyboarder and several women generally historically considered to be among its “top tier” writers (Meghan, AKR, Cindy Morrow), does anyone else feel it’s slightly weird that there don’t really seem to be very many women involved outside the recording studio any more?

I mean, I know we lost both AKR and Meghan kind of abruptly, but Natasha Levinger, Noelle Benvenuti, Lewis/Songco and GM Berrow all (IMHO) totally nailed it when they came in to write episodes here and there – where are they?

Again, I’m not necessarily complaining, just thought it was a bit interesting and/or strange.
