Nick says he can\u2019t be normal around Reagan since she\u2019s too hot and mysterious. While walking out to leave the loft, Reagan says she can\u2019t stay and hang out with them since she\u2019ll have one too many margaritas after Winston invites her to stay and hang out with the roommates at their dinner table. Then, Winston says, \u201cI\u2019m going to make her hang out with us whether she wants to or not\u201d. This makes the viewer assume that she is independent since she is always alone in an apartment with strangers living a separate life, concluding this as an example of a counterstereotype of women. In addition, Winston runs up to her in the park when she is jogging. She says that she kind of prefers to run alone.<\/li>\n<li>Schmidt and Cece plan to make Nick stop freaking out about Reagan being \u2018so hot\u2019 by telling him she wears a wig. Nick asks why she wears it and Cece says it is because of personal lady reasons. Nick responds by saying I don\u2019t want to touch that. The viewer can assume that Nick says this regarding women having to have long hair to have more beauty.<\/li>\n<li>In the episode, it is found out that Reagan is not a sensitive person and doesn\u2019t show emotion since she says she can\u2019t break up with her girlfriend and makes Winston try and do it. This would be a counterstereotype of women being sensitive, kind, and sweet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Bechdel Test: <strong>Does pass<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>There are women that are named<\/li>\n<li>They do talk to each other<\/li>\n<li>They do talk to each other about things other than a man<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FOX television series New Girl, specifically season 5, episode 7 titled Wig &nbsp; Gender representation: &nbsp; This episode is about the new roommate Reagan being distant with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4722,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[195],"tags":[103],"splot_meta":{"author":"Alonzo Torres","license":"","source":"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/watch\/80111432?trackId=14170289&tctx=10105b7575-aafc-4fbc-bc36-89ccb23f2973-306571063cf32c2d-9f30-4c99-bd14-83a8e3f35108_8026375X3XX1635298751760"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4724"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gamportfolio.drkretz.knight.domains\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
