920...It Was 20 Years Ago Today

In the wake of the Take Back The Night marches across our country and, I believe, our continent, marches that empower women to take back the night, I thought it is prime time to point out that one of the most empowering shows for women ever made it debut 20 years ago today.

Give or take.

It was in the fall of 1989 that Baywatch hit the air.

Snicker if you want but when you deconstruct the program you will realize that I am right on about this.

The women in Baywatch were making vital, life saving decisions on a regular basis, treated as equals in their employment field. They were powerful athletes in control of their workplace and lives for the most part.
