This perhaps started out as a means to encourage female empowerment, and turned out to be another stereotypical bs, unfortunately. I did have this feeling when the trailer came out. The main character got onto the football team and was the reason the team won - excellent, felt good. And then this same child puts LIPSTICK to school, and just had to show up in a "glittery, pink" shirt under her football uniform.
Why? This show is basically inserting even more false stereotypes, such as that 'girls' love 'glitter' and 'pink' and cannot live without 'makeup'. What a shame. And when she gets her personal space in the locker room, it's completely pink, and full of flowers.
The word 'girly' itself is a complete stereotype - and this show does a great job of enforcing this rubbish and inaccurate stereotype.
Perhaps this kind of reinforcement is what forces young girls to become what these stereotypes present, and then, in a way, these false stereotypes become 'real'. One is not 'born' into liking flowers, pink, and makeup - girls are brainwashed to think they are 'supposed to'. A big shame.
1/10, hands down.
