“None of my emails were going through to WarnerMedia for weeks — and then we found out I was placed on some sort of do-not-accept-emails-from list by their IT department because of all the pornography.”

A lot of magazines. The feminist magazines at the time, and the porno magazines at the time. Everything from Playgirl to Viva to Ms. Magazine.

That’s a powerful position to hold at any time.
Speaking of confused messaging, “Minx” seems interested in pointing out the contradictions of second-wave feminism of the ‘70s, like in the way Maggie looks down on sex workers and less wealthy, educated women, and even the joke Tina makes when Joyce correctly assumes that she, the Black woman, was the secretary. How and why did you decide to construct the show that way?
In order for there to be a Joyce, there needs to be a Doug. In order for there to be a Doug, there needs to be a Joyce butting up against him. I liked the idea of somebody who you thought was sleazy, craven, a smut-peddling pornographer, who really at his heart is an intelligent businessman. I liked that they both were underdogs and fish out of water.
