Jill Gutowitz, a pop culture writer, is the author of the new book "Girls Can Kiss Now." In the book, Gutowitz takes a humorous look at the intersection of entertainment and sexuality over the past 30 years. Gutowitz told Insider early-2000s Lindsay Lohan and Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black" were formative to her sexuality. Loading Something is loading. As a child, Jill Gutowitz was obsessed with Lindsay grew up watching the child star's classics, like "The Parent Trap," and as a young adult, "Freaky Friday," and "Mean Girls.""I wanted to be like her, dress like her, and act like her. She was the epitome of cool" and everyone loved her, Gutowitz wrote in her new book of essays "Girls Can Kiss Now." Now 30, Gutowitz said she now realizes she wasn't just a fan of Lindsay Lohan. She wanted to kiss her. In the book, Gutowitz shares her musings on the intersection of pop culture and sexuality, weaving in her personal coming-of-age tales. She references Britney Spears, Cara Delevigne, Julianne Moore, and other celebrities whose mainstream presence influenced her Gutowitz identifies as a lesbian. She told Insider, looking back, her childhood obsession with Lindsay Lohan, plus watching "Orange Is the New Black" in her early twenties, helped her come to terms with her attraction to women.'My obsession with Lindsay Lohan would out me'When Gutowitz realized her childhood friends didn't share her fixation over Lohan, she started to downplay it, she told Insider."Because they were noticing that I was so obsessed, I kind of taught myself to tone it down. I came to understand pretty quickly that my obsession with Lindsay Lohan would out me, even if I didn't know for sure that I was a lesbian," Gutowitz told Insider. Gutowitz said she still didn't realize her gayness in 2009, when Lohan and her then girlfriend DJ Samantha Ronson, became tabloid regulars. All Gutowitz could think about back then, she wrote in the book, was "Girls can kiss...each other?!?!?! For their OWN PLEASURE?!?!?"Since Lohan was known as a Hollywood cool-girl before she started dating Ronson, it automatically made their queer relationship more intriguing, Gutowitz said. She also said it was the first time she saw mainstream representation of a same-sex relationship involving a feminine-presenting celebrity, though Lohan has since denied she is bisexual.'Orange Is the New Black' showed women being horny for each otherWhen Gutowitz was 23 she was aware of her gayness, but actively tried to suppress it, she said. That same year, Netflix debuted "Orange Is the New Black," a television show based on a pilot episode, where characters Alex and Piper have shower sex, became another formative moment for her sexuality, Gutowitz said. "That was the first time that I saw a relationship between two women that was based in love and a real connection and also was super hot," Gutowitz told said seeing Alex and Piper's relationship throughout the show helped her confront her fears about being Netflix show "kind of held my hand in a way and was like, 'This is going to be hard to deal with, but there are rewards at the end of it,'" Gutowitz said. "Rewards of actually getting to feel what love feels like. Oh, and horniness too."TVOrange is the New Black Suzanne Crazy Eyes Warren Hot Topic Exclusive #248.

Killer Serials ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, Season 3, Eps. 4-6 June 23, 2015 J. Ryan Parker Tony and I are back with the second installment of Killer Serials and a look at episodes four, five, and six of the third season of Orange is the New Black. JRP So we got off to a good start with themes of motherhood, spiritual longing, and the tension between truth and confession. While those themes are still prevalent across the next three episodes, new ones take center stage, and I think two rise to the top. The first is the notion of identity or maybe identity ownership and who can be what and who can say what. The second is the privatization of Litchfield with the arrival of MCC and the Whispers Lingerie contract. Booâs character drives Episode 4 and itâs a fundamental discussion of identity and how it functions. I found her teenage relationship with her father to be a breath of fresh air, but as an adult, when she visits her mother in the hospital, it turns into something that weâve seen before, even in this series. Is her sexuality her true self or is it a costume she wears like her father suggests, or is it a combination of both? Her father tells her, âNo one gets the privilege of being who they are all the time.â When Boo tries to âpassâ as âevangeli-crazyâ she canât do it, because it has been a main source of her oppression for so long. In the kitchen, and across the prison, Norma is taking up her own spiritual practice and she is gaining popularity, much to Gloriaâs chagrin. Gloria confronts Norma and tells her, âSanteria is some serious shit. [âŠ] This ainât your culture. This ainât your history.â Closely related to this in terms of spirituality is the popularity of Kosher meals among some of the prisoners. Black Cindy takes advantage of religious freedom and begins eating them even though sheâs not Jewish. Nor is Lolly, the new prisoner who starts the craze. Finally, in terms of identity, as the women begin working in the âsweatshop,â Piper calls it for what it is, slave labor. Black Cindy and Janae hear her and promptly correct her. Janae tells her, âYou donât get to say that.â Black Cindy says the more appropriate definition is indentured servitude, which Piper wouldnât know about either. But, in this case, Piper is right. She, like Black Cindy and Janae, is being exploited for pennies on the hour. TJ Identity is primary, as you say, but even now itâs tied to motherhood, which I think is emerging as the overriding issue of season three. Each character, it seems, has a tortured relationship with her mom, and that hangs over their desire to develop and mature. I really love that weâre getting backstories of the next ring of characters, including Big Boo. As you suggest, her parentsâ rejection of her sexuality is redundant â thatâs what drove Poussey away from her parents â but itâs surely common enough in the real world to merit that. Iâm fascinated by the identity issues in episode six, âChing Chang Ding Dong.â Before watching it, Iâd been wondering if anyone at Litchfield is lonelier than Poussey, and I thought of Chang. Then this episode delved into her background, showing her as an acne-scarred Chinese immigrant, too homely even to be sold into marriage. But we also saw that she has a secret life at the prison that seems to bring her much fulfillment. If Changâs appearance as a young woman shaped her identity, so does Piperâs. The conversations about beauty are fascinating around the Whispers Lingerie sewing tables. The women debate different racial standards of beauty, but they all agree that the standard white version is skinny and blonde. And they all look at Piper. But Piper is complaining about her looks, which is when a new character, Stella, calls bullshit on her. When it comes to identity, Piper may know herself least of anyone. Though Caputo may give her a run for her money. JRP The privatization of Litchfield Prison is a damning depiction of something we donât often talk about in mainstream conversations. I know that many people refuse to watch the series and, for me, this is one of the more troubling aspects of this new season. Itâs mining humor from one of the most inhumane practices in twenty-first century America. Not only are wages criminally low, new management looks to save money even on feeding the prisoners. MCC representatives complain that Caputo canât get the per-meal-average down to the national standard of $ heâs 21 cents off. But the privatization of prisons doesnât result in just slave labor, it exploits the guards and staff as well, whose benefits are cut to save money. Less strenuous hiring practices lead to ill-equipped guards, which are ineffective in keeping order. I I think one key aspect of the privatization of Litchfield is part of a larger theme food and its implication for agency and freedom. Red is literally devastated when MCC ships in bagged food to feed the inmates. Even though she was working with shitty ingredients in previous seasons, she was still preparing and cooking it. Part of Changâs fulfillment comes from her ability to make and eat the type of food she likes. TJ I love that work that Chang does to create meals that are gratifying to her. But itâs also heart-rending because of the amount of work she has to go through to make it happen. And I agree completely about the privatization issue. Iâve read a couple pieces where commentators disparage OITNB because it makes light of prison and doesnât show how difficult life inside really is, and I thought of that during Changâs time in the shed, eating an orange and watching TV on a phone, wondering, Would she really have that much freedom? But in spite of these, I commend Kohan for raising the issue of privatization this season. Kohan is in good company in using comedy to shed light on our countryâs moral failure â thatâs exactly what Robert Altman and Larry Gelbart did with M*A*S* Check back next week for our dialogue on episodes 7, 8, and 9.

As Netflix's third original series and one of its most outstanding successes, Orange Is the New Black OITNB was a landmark series for diverse female representation in TV. Meanwhile, the men of Litchfield have served as sounding boards for the females' cries of injusticeâfor better and for worse. The 7th and final season of Orange Is the New Black shows big ambitions to wrap up its social commentary on the big ticket issues, from immigration and prison privatization to the cycle of addiction and MeToo reconciliation. In particular, this season Joe Caputo Nick Sandow, the milquetoast former warden and aspiring good guy, confronts his previous inappropriate behavior towards season 2's CO Susan Fischer Lauren Lapkus. His MeToo redemption arc is as heavy-handed as the series other closing statements, but it's what best completes Caputo's series-long, bumbling plight to be a better man. Does he deserve that satisfaction? As much as any of the men of OITNB deserve what they get, which is to say sort of. Beta MaleNetflixCreated by Jenji Kohan Weeds, the series has been hailed as a "pioneer" of representing diverse female, immigrant, and trans experiences. In its final season, the show also closes the book on the particular male experience represented by Joe Caputo. He vacillates between a beta male and yet another man under the Nice Guy delusion; as Salon describes, "All he's doing is waiting for the world to give him something in returnâthe gold medal in exchange for heroism, the blue ribbon award for showing up." When Fischer, a former Litchfield CO for whom Caputo developed feelings, makes a viral Facebook post about how uncomfortable she felt when an unnamed boss expressed his interest in her, Caputo feels unfairly targeted. Since his advances were akin to teenage fumblings over a crush, including inviting her to see his band called Sideboob perform, he argues that his good intentions set him apart from those called out in the MeToo and BelieveWomen movements. Of course, Caputo did use his position of authority to fire Fischer, but he argues that she was a terrible guard. For a show that has featured genuinely malicious acts of coercion, sexual harassment, and rape by male authority figures, making Joe Caputo the target of a MeToo accusation is the perfect move to capture the intention of the movement without virtue-signaling or making misandrist outcries. While Slate proposes that "Caputo's reckoning with his sexual harassment of an ex-employee feels a bit like the show grappling with its own earlier miscalculations," the character's redemption arc is more thoughtful than that. In season 7, Caputo's trail of failed careers leads him back to Litchfield to teach a restorative justice class to inmates, guiding them through role-play exercises and personal reflections to help them assume full responsibility for hurting their victims. It's during one of these exercises that Caputo has an admittedly kitschy moment of self-realization. Despite his initial protests, he realizes that his actions toward Susan Fischer, however well-intended, were inappropriate and an abuse of his authority. He tells his class, "If someone comes to me and says 'This is what you did to me,' it's my job to listen to them. It's not my place to correct what they're thinking or what they're feeling." CO Susan FischerDanielle Brooks, the actress who gives a fiercely human portrayal of Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson as both a victim of injustice and a beacon of reform, has said that she's proud of the show for "hitting on the MeToo movement before the MeToo movement even happened or was being spoken of." In praise of the show's takedown of "toxic male entitlement" whether in the form of beta male self-victimization or the Nice Guy fallacy, Salon noted, "Orange Is The New Black offers up not just an array of male experience, but an array of male frailty; the subversive mission of the show finds ways to lay bare the strength of its women as it exposes the weaknesses of the men."Truly, OITNB does not just depict men as flat caricatures or the ultimate root of all evil; it does something more uncomfortable than that. While outlier critics have accused Jenji Kohan's show of spreading "irresponsible portrayals of men," the dramedy has always relied on its cutting, self-aware humor to present even the most depraved characters as deeply flawed humans. Even season 5's CO Piscatella Brad William Henke, by far the series' worst villain, was given a backstory of an abusive childhood and falling in love with a male inmate who was beaten and sexually assaulted by other prisoners because of their relationship. Prior to that, former CO Sam Healy Michael Harney embodied the Nice Guy who alternates between moments of genuine empathy and vindictiveness, thinly veiling his latent racism, homophobia, misogyny, and transphobia. Still, he's given a tragic, over-the-top backstory about growing up with a mentally ill mother and bigoted father. While each man exhibits a "desperate and sad entitlement, enacted by toying with the inmates unconsciously, to either hurt or help them to his satisfaction," they're also sort of funny. The series doesn't skimp on its signature humor when it comes to toxic characters or their problematic attitudes; that simple gesture creates layers of sympathy that complicate the false dichotomies between innocence and guilt, victim and abuser, intentions and consequences. As creator Jenji Kohan told The New York Times, "I believe it all goes back to the fact you're not that worst moment in your life. I'm not saying that there are not sociopaths who might be irretrievable, but I think it's a small percentage, and everyone else is the people who messed up." She added, "I'm a strong believer in humor for survival. I don't believe a drama that is 100 percent dramatic, because that's not how we live and function as human beings. So I find it very natural to slam comedy up against tragedy, because it mirrors life."At the core of good comedy is empathy, and in its final season OITNB manages to sustain high notes of humor while depicting the tiny daily tragedies that come with mental illness, systemic injustice, and institutional failures. Amidst the strong women of Litchfield, Joe Caputo is the last man standing, as he's the only recurring male character in the series with an evolved sense of self. His MeToo redemption arc underscores the show's point that everyone is reckoning with their past selves and their mistakes, but rehabilitation depends on one's willingness to take responsibility for their actions. People aren't defined by the worst moment of their lives, but they have to work to change their story. TK7Nzu.
