@miguelreina "Remove the sexist tone"?
The women are treated way better than would be historically accurate.
To give a clear example: Women weren't allowed property unless they were over the age of 21 and still unmarried.
When they married, the property would belong to the husband afterwards though.
Women in victorian England had less rights than women in antique rome.
THAT is one of the things they are talking about when they mention the "order of things". Not just the commoner being beneath the ruling class but also women below men.
Yes, its neither nice, nor equal, nor modern - but victorian times were none of those things.
I think the show does a good job showing the problems women face in a world which really is a mens world (todays isn't, sorry) while not showing the really disgusting parts (like husbands raping and beating the shit out of their wifes because they feel like it and are legally entitled to...)
@player8472 I don't think it exactly reflects a Victorian England, even if it takes place in a specific year. I think it is more a steampunk style which is actually a fantasy era that plays with anachronisms.
In fact, Joss Whedon has never exactly been a very feminist screenwriter. The empowerment of his female characters has always been more apparent than real, if not sexist (like the "Wonder woman" unreleased script). His concept of empowerment consists of showing vulnerable girls kicking asses, which The Washington Post critic Robyn Bahr defined as "a hetero male fantasy of muscular, hot-girl matriarchy." There is something of this fantasy in the character of Hugo Swann, but also in the fact that this is the Joss Whedon show in which there are more nudes (of women). There is also in the women main characters a certain emotional dependence on men, which defines them as not as independent as we are led to believe. But that is only my opinion.
@miguelreina The way I understand it, it is our reality up until the point to the event and it divides from there.
For Steampunk, there are too little abreviations.

[HBO] A messy script that's constantly running ahead of events, as if it's so eager to explain itself that it leaves constant narrative gaps. Episode six, a kind of short film anthology, is intended to be explanatory but leaves more questions than answers. The new showrunner Philippa Goslett has the mission to fix the mess (if it is possible) and, on the way, eliminate the sexist tone of the show.
