Girl Meets World – “Girl Meets STEM”
Girl Meets World is a wonderful gem in young adult entertainment at the moment. Even though its messages often feel a little heavy handed, there are moments where the episode gets its point across perfectly, and “Girl Meets STEM” is one of them. One of its most feminist episodes yet, Riley becomes annoyed when their science teacher assigns a project that allows one lab partner to do one simple task and other lab partner to do rest of the complex tasks to complete the project. Riley notices that it’s the girls in the class who take the simple task, and although being paired with Farkle, the class brain, Riley refuses to do the easy task and encourages the girls to take a stand and not automatically disregard an interest in science. –Gabrielle Bondi
