Ditch the Patriarchy

In the latest episode of Ted Lasso, the team has an all-nighter in Amsterdam. What’s amazing is that they shrug off the sex and drugs for something more daring. They ditch the patriarchy. Scenes depict male athletes being tender, curious and playful. They vulnerably share weakness and struggle. They show appreciation and celebrate each other in public. They make music and sing – and let the women lead. I am grateful for this show – and for the men in my life who remind me that this doesn’t only happen in Amsterdam!
