KeyWoRds...

Feminism
Political movement to advance the status of women by challenging values, social constructions and socioeconomic practices which disadvantage women and favour men

In Sugar rush, the entire show focuses on women and lesbinism. It doesnt at all concentrate on men. Only at points when Stella has issies in her marriage. But the males are havbe more of a passive role than a dominant one.

Femme Fatale
A female character who uses her sexuality, often in devious, disreputable, secrative ways, to achience the ends she desires.

Kim throughtout sugar rush tries to find out who she is and where she belongs. By starting a relationship with her partners she seduces them. This is a example of femme fatal

Stereotype
The social classification of a groupof prople by identifying common characteristics and universally applying them in an often oversimplified and generalised way, such that the classification represents value judgements and the assumptions about the groups concerned.
As im concentrating on representation stereotypes are vital. Lesbians are seen as an oucast to society. They are counted as real people with vaules and morals. Its important for me to mention why people do this and whether if girls and lesbians still conform to the stereotypes or do they reject them.

Mainstream:
The unconvential, generally accepted attitudes, beliefs and values of the majority of the population.
Sugar Rush can be seen as not being mainstream as it steers away from the norm and tries to break sterotypes. Its all bout women being in relationships with other women and them being powerful and dominant.

Patriachal
male domination of politcal, cultural and socioeconomial.
This is important as Sugar rush breaks away totally from the sterotypes and demonstrates a Woman all powerful and dominant. It will also reinforce the point where there are no men and i can point out that this society no longer exists as men and women are seen to be equal these days.
