sex positive rugrats!
*The Rugrats parents allow Tommy and Chuckie to wear dresses because “they’re not just for girls”
*In Betty & Howard’s relationship, the gender roles are reversed. Same in Drew & Charlotte’s relationship.*Charlotte, Angelica’s big business mama, occasionally alludes to the importance of female empowerment:
* Throughout the series, it is often highlighted that Phil & Lil, although identical twins, are treated differently because of their gender.*Charles/”Chaz” proudly takes on the nurturing role of single dad and challenges traditional masculinity.
*In fact, most the characters bend gender in one way or another!
Also, it was based partly on Doctor Who. There are toy Daleks, and Tommy solves problems with the help of his screwdriver. Its just not sonic.
Suddenly why we weren’t allowed to watch this after a handful of episodes makes sense.
EDIT: Not to say that I wouldn’t let my kids watch it, just knowing my mom, that makes a lot of sense now.
