Her refusal to back down on her decision and her reasoning was so amazing to see. I love that the writers made her unapologetic in her decision and that they stuck with her not having kids, not to be swayed by Owen. It was so important to see this displayed on television. I love that she says she respects children. Not many parents can say that.
@@alejandravelez6354 That only shows that she loves herself above him, which is an amazing statement. She won't put her dreams and plans aside just because of a man. He can have a kid with whoever he wants, it doesn't have to be her. Why does she need to sacrifice herself for him? Also, Owen knew what he was getting into when he got with Christina. He knew her and if he truly loved her, he should respect her above all. (Also, tube ligation doesn't work with everyone, there are many cases where people got pregnant even after tying their tubes. And the law in many countries needs the person to have at least two children before they can have their tubes tied because they think that they'll change their mind" or "their partner will want to have a kid", which is really disrespectful to anyone.)
Esta bien lo que dijo, tiene mucha razon, pero entonces porque no se cuido? Siendo doctora no lo hizo. Es decir que cada vez que no se cuide y quede embarazada abortara? Parece que si.
@@sclaudiapz Creo que se cuido, pero no método anticonceptivo es perfecto (ni siquiera la ligadura de trompas y la vasectomía, que son los más efectivo, pero los más controlados por la ley.)
My personal favourite is when the visiting Doctor wants to work with no one else than “the nazi” and doesn’t even consider it being a woman. Bailey just outright has him chasing around the hospital his entire shift. It was beautiful! 😂
The moment where Richard calls out "this kind of behavior is why they call you the Nazi" as the Doctor is getting out of the elevator and Miranda is getting in....is amazing! His face! 😂
Why is there no mention of Jo deciding to file for a divorce from her abusive ex, or Meredith telling Jo that she knows who she is, or Jo confronting her ex, or the wall of women, or April standing up for herself for being a virgin.
I love it too. Most of the married females on the show did the same, and I think it sends a great message to young women that they don’t HAVE to take their significant other’s last name
But she got her dad's last name and so did her mom. When her mom made up the Grey Method, they said something about her being bold to do so but it's not even the last name she was born with, it's her husband's.
yearh, most of the women didn't take their husbands last name. But Jo took Alex's last name, which wasn't about him, but her wanting to take his last name.
Where is the scene were all the female doctors make a hall for a girl that was sexually assaulted that was the best moment of all that's an example of women supporting women
I love the "I can live without you, but I don't want to. I never want to." That was one of those tear jerking moments for me. Even tho it's feminist it is still vulnerable and honest at the same time.
Owen trying to make Christina have a baby when she clearly doesn’t want one angers me to no end. SOME WOMEN DONT WANT A BABY AND THAT DOES NOT MAKE HER ANY LESS OF A WOMAN.
Kinlie Paulson he didn’t think it made her less of a woman. He just wanted his opinion to at least be discussed because in reality that’s what you do in a relationship. I get her not wanting kids because I personally don’t want children but how she acted about it was very unfair to her husband and she should have talk it out with him not just keep telling him he doesn’t get a say.
Traci M that’s because he DOESNT get a say. It’s Christina’s choice and he couldn’t have said anything to prevent or convince her to do anything but getting an abortion. They DID talk about it, though
Ro Garbizu that’s just it in a relationship you get a say. He doesn’t get to overrule her but he does get to at least have a discussion about wanting kids before the decision is made. Marriage is about taking each other’s feelings into a count no one should be making that decision alone when they are in a committed relationship. It’s his life too and she should have talk to him about her feelings on children long before then. Yang didn’t talk to hunt she only ever told him what she was going to do that’s not a conversation.
Traci M a man can keep saying he wants a baby until he’s blue in the face, but if his partner makes it clear that she does not want a baby he can’t force her to. She’s the one that has to carry it after all. Like I have made it so so so so clear to my boyfriend that I do not want a baby and he respects that. If he wants to have a baby he has an out to go to someone who does. You can’t force someone to want a baby.
@@ritahaddad4664 but she only wasn’t supportive for the first part because she didn’t want to lose him or risk him getting hurt, so its different when that’s the reason she’s being unsupportive
"I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what YOU broke. You don't get to call me a whore!" My favorite Meredith Grey quote in all 16 seasons
Jo is a more obvious form of female empowerment. She is amazing and she stands up to others with the help of fellow women and surgeons, and that is a moment all in itself. I think maybe the point of this video was to show the maybe less obvious forms of sexism that most people overlook. I'm just offering another way to look at it, don't come at me or anything haha. I definitely do agree, however, that the hallway should have been included in this video. That was the best thing I've ever seen!
Yeaeh, I think Jo has had a few feminist moments on the show. Including the wall of women, suporting Abbey (the patient), deciding to file for a divorce from Paul (a small, but empowering moment for any women who are survivors of domenstic violence), facing Paul, taking the time to try and help Paul's fiance, who was in the same sitiuation that she was. Meredith telling Jo that she's a survivor.
Personally I think the hall of women for the assault victim, April standing up for being a virgin, Meredith telling Zola never to date a guy who cant handle her power, and something from Jo's story shoudlve made the list or at least honorable mention!
@@joss4892The definition of a feminist is someone who wants equality between the sexes. The main reason women are mostly feminists is because we know firsthand was sexism is. Some men do realize that women face sexism all the time, and they can easily choose to be a feminist.
@Hudson Donald Lol ,feminism is not equality of sexes , it's fighting for the rights of women and women only, if men want to fight for their rights ,they can make their own movement ,they don't have to cling on women's movements to ,and if you a guy ,you can't say who is feminist and who isn't ,your nat part of the movement and will never be
@@suhani9912 Sorry but we don't want equality ,google it and google some of the reasons ,cuz this ain't it. We fight for 0 violence towards women ,for equal pay , for our rights ,for 0 abuse, feminism is for women and by women ,not men
@@suhani9912 Men can't be feminist cuz they've never had to face the struggles that women do, they aren't constantly reminded to only be of use in the kitchen or cleaning or having children, they haven't been tackled by society for wearing shorts or no shirts in the summer ,women have
I am sad to see that there’s the scene missing when Cristina told Owen her past relationship with Burke, and that he took pieces of her without noticing. And that she will from now on never give up pieces of herself for another man. Man, that scene was so courageous, and emotional, and RAWWWW Feminine Power!!!
ok but she acted like mer should have to choose between motherhood and her career and as of she was above her cause she didn't what kids not that's bad but no one said that too. Derek
Yuk, Amelia is the worst. I was totally done with her when she had Link pretend to be Owen to her family. What sane adult does this? Now she realizes her baby might not be Link's. She is so irresponsible, reckless. 4 weeks separated Owen and Link and it never occurred to her? Didn't she realize she missed her period a long time ago. I always felt she was a flake and she keeps proving me right
Nikki Henry Actually I asked my mom that, because I thought the exact same thing and she told me, “No they would. For that kind of case; they would absolutely do that.”
Nikki Henry you’d be surprised how many people can be freed up for a minute in a hospital. I work in one and there are lots of people who aren’t chained to a computer or the sole provider for a patient. And it would take less than one minute out of your day.
What do u expect lol Derek is kinda trash. He lied to Meredith for months, was absolutely butthurt about being cheated on in a relationship he didn’t invest in whatsoever, strung Addison along for a year while he was openly flirting with Meredith and didn’t give a crap about how that was hurting his wife, eventually cheated himself and he was slutshaming his partners on several occasions. He’s a hypocrite.
fact: ellen(merideth grey) was paid LESS than patrick dempsey(derek shepherd). she demanded to be paid more but her request was refused she when she asked patrick for support he didn't show an ounce of interest. now he is written off the show and ellen receives the salary she deserves.
The scene with Izzy she says, "Just remember that while your sitting on a 200k in student loan, Im out of debt" I have nothing to say, that was amazing!!
YAAAAAS. Every time she walked into the room she exuded this "don't fuck with me" vibe and I was living for it. Honestly she was a badass Latina character
I also loved the scene when Dr. Hahn confronts the chief for doubting her surgery choices because she's a woman but never asked a ques to other male surgery heads.
I love moment 6. I truly expected Meredith not to end up with Derek because, frankly, he f***ed up real bad. And I think sometimes people forgets how he lied to her, made her a mistress, shamed her when she wanted to move on...ugh. Thank God for fanfiction. Edit: First time I got so many likes, hahahaha! Thanks.
Stephanie Manrique Yup. I had been waiting for/wanting Derek to die or them to split for real since the second season. His departure was an actual party.
I know right, he was a horrible person I was glad when they killed him off. That was an extremely unhealthy relationship from the start, she is much better off without him.
@Anna Mauricio I agree with you about the separation, but if you are with a married man, this one being separated or not, it does turn you into the other woman. Besides, Derek had literally ran away from the issue and Addie went back to finally get a proper closure. Either divorce me or stay with me, and he wasn't sure! I mean, I understand the "I deserve a moment of pause to decide whether I'm divorcing my wife after spending X Christmases, Thanksgivings and etc., with" but he shouldn't had formed a new relationship, a whole huge 'I'm starting to need space in your drawer' relationship if he had that unfinished business! You wanna f**k around to get even with your cheating wife? Fine. Wanna feel like the man because of it? That's great, I'm all for it. But you don't go with the whole flowers and chocolates with a new girl without having cut ties with the previous chapter of your life. Sorry for the rant 😅
Cristina standing up in her decision is one of the best moments since the beginning of the show, and that scene where Meredith tells Owen that she was raised by a Cristina and it didn’t gave her a good upbringing. MerTina moments that I miss 🥺
I actually miss Ellen’s acting from the earlier seasons. In the last few seasons she seems more of a side character without any serious scenes showcasing her acting
@@leonm.goldsteinhighschoolf8254 I didn’t like that a court room allowed it. She never seems to have consequences for her actions. Also she maybe angry he contributed to Dereks death but in that same breath she ticked off all the people she was responsible for. Hypocritical.
And he made multiple comments about it’s just not natural or Cristina was just crazy because all women want babies. He pisses me off especially in this past episode with Amelia I and the patient who flung herself down the stairs to abort
everyone thinks that, and it's honestly offensive. Why does nobody say that when someone gushes over someone else's baby? "oh sure, they are cute, but when you start really enjoying your own life, you'll change your mind about having that anchor around your neck".
WOW! I would have picked Amelia's legendary as #2. Nothing beats the hall of women who protected the female patient who had been raped. That was such an empowering scene and I cried when I saw it. That scene shows both the strength & vulnerability in feminism...as well as female unity! P.S. It's not too soon. This list came out today (9/30/19). The episode is from last season.
VERY disappointed that this didn’t include the scene where Jo made a hall filled with women to help comfort a woman going into surgery because she was RAPED.
I the beginning I didn't like Meredith, and then I started to see her backstory and get to know her and once I knew her I understood her. Now I think she's a great character.
Yes she made clear that decision for him before they got married, but Owen thought that she would change her mind after, bc in his twisted mind every women wants a child 🙄 he did the same thing with Amelia
This was awesome but another top 10 feminist moments for Grey's Anatomy is needed there are so many more from just last season that should be highlighted as well...
Don’t get me wrong, Amelia’s great, but that wasn’t a feminist thing. No one questioned that she could or couldn’t do it because she was a woman, it was whether she could do it as a surgeon. It’s got more to do with identity than gender really. I would probably have the hallway scene from last season as number one because all the women came together to support that patient. I would have also included Lexie telling Alex off after he objectified her in 7x01. Thought that was a great moment for her. Definitely an honourable mention at least. That’s just my opinion though
The hallway scene should definitely be #1. I get why Amelia's legendary is on the list, considering how sexist her brother was. It's a little feminist, but much more about stepping from a sibling's shadow.
Jina Koffi agree. It was just that last statement I didn’t agree with where the video says “it speaks volumes about what women can accomplish” Pretty sure I can’t do this, only a talented surgeon could
Jina Koffi i don’t think Derek was sexist I think that for one he was older and they had a sibling rivalry but more importantly that he didn’t trust her cuz she was a drug addict
@@chideraagu8433: In this scenario, he wasn't. This was more sibling rivalry. In general, Derek was hella sexist. He called Meredith a whore after he broke up with her, he grudgingly helped Cristina after much prodding, and he didn't always respect Callie or Arizona in their respective roles. While Alex was much worse in the beginning, he made a complete change. Derek never had the same epiphany Alex did.
The wall of women, was so powerful, but also when Jo decides to file for a divorce from her abusve ex. That was a small but empowering moment, especially for other women, who were/are in the same sitiatuon as Jo.
nowadays that would probably be considered sexual harassment but things were different and even Grey's was different, when I watch older episodes I think, "they wouldn't say that now". I like when they have their own reckoning, like Bailey telling people to quit calling her The Nazi after she had to operate on an actual Nazi.
@Hudson Donald its not a feminist issue, but it is definitely considered harassment. Izzie is working in an environment where her nudity is not part of the workplace. Someone papered the hospital with photos of her meant to shame and humiliate her. It's not the same as, say, her bringing a magazine to the hospital and showing Meredith what she did before she became a doctor. The intent and context are what makes it wrong.
@Hudson Donald I didn't say anything even remotely suggesting that I thought what Izzie did to earn money was wrong. I also didn't say I wouldn't condemn a woman for sexually harassing a man because it goes both ways. You're assuming a lot about me based on one comment, my dude.
@Hudson Donald "What you are really saying is that her showing her body for money was wrong" pretty sure you were the one who suggested that when you said "She had an embarrassing job before they worked together". Also, Alex did it to undermine Izzie, I have no idea how you're trying to pretend it wasn't. It backfired on him because she stood up for herself, had she had any other personality or different co-workers, things could have gone badly for her. So stop downplaying what he did as if it was anything other than shitty and ill-intentioned.
i love the one..."i can live without you but i don't want to". she is capable enough to get over everything and she can do that too but she don't want too... i am in so much love with this show.. .
Agreed. She's an important character (even if she's not an OG), and she has had quite a few feminist moments on the show: most notably the wall of women, and deciding to file for a divorce from Paul
Yesss I used to live for those moments when Bailey was being her badass powerful self and after she became chief they made her seem more soft and try to make it seem like she is overcome by her mental issues but the bailey I knew would’ve been a powerful force after dealing with those issues
I agree they made her petty and emotional once she became chef. She fired Meredith, Alex, and Richard because she was jealous that they didn't have her in loop really?
amelia's wasnt a feminist moment, is just badass, regardless of gender, she wasnt dereks shadow bc she was his female little sister, was his shadow bc she wasnt HE, and they all knew HIM, they didnt have two cents about her. i hate when ppl throw the word feminism at anything just bc theres a woman involved. there are a ton of more feminist moments through out the show, and u picked that as ur number one. get ur references checked.
I like when Bailey gives the kids a tour of the hospital and she thinks it was a bad tour but they loved it because all the heads were women and showed them they can do it too
I really like the video but i would have included the moment when all the females doctors, nurses and health personal of a hospital made a line for the lady who was sexually abused. Because feminism is not only about making women and men equal, but be there for a women when she struggles.
@@FollowTheBible2 are you really going to complain when a lot of episodes are focus in male problems and struggles and they made this one for women. Really?
TOP 10 Hypocritical Behind the Scenes: 1. Firing Sarah Drew over pettiness and Jessica Chapsaw purely as a casualty so close to International Womens Day
How could you miss the scene where Jo gathered every woman in the Hospital to line up the way to the OR for the woman who was assaulted to make her feel comfortable and safe!!! And that's not the only scene you've missed. So please do make another list
I know this is a list of earlier seasons moments, but I WILL add two. The moment when Jo lined the hallway with women to help comfort and empower a traumatized patient. I thought that moment was extraordinary. And of course, the moment when Meredith won her Harper Avery.
Amelia has come so freaking far it’s amazing. Going from the Shepherd family black sheep and little sister in the shadows to absolut badass surgeon, kicking ass and taking names while being a recovering addict and a great mom. She’s incredible.
When it comes to the men on the show in terms of feminism Jackson takes the cake. Both showed in this top 10 but also him talking to Cathrine about equality when he leaves the show is everything.
Damn, I've already seen all these moments, but hearing Grey tell Derek she can live without him always makes my heart super, super heavy. Then she says, "But I don't ever want to." And I'm just permanently sad.
look i’m not a feminist, i’m far from it, but this video made me cry. like even though these are fictional characters like it made me proud and happy to see them sticking up for themselves.
Louise Noronha Rodrigues lol nah believe me i’m not, you could ask anyone who knows me and they’d say i’m a misogynist. That’s why it’s so weird for me to have cried and feel that pride. i liked the feeling tho
Christina did tell Owen that she didn’t want kids before they were engaged. The topic came up during a surgery. If he didn’t believe her or decided that she was going to change her mind then thats on him. He can’t blame her for it.
#3 wasn't rly about her gender it was about the fact that each career doesn't get paid the same. A neuro gets paid more cuz u r doing surgery on the BRAIN. Like that's just the way it is. Also the other department heads were women so i don't understand that
The thing I love about greys (from a male perspective) is that they don't force all this down your throat like it isn't blatant that they are promoting feminism, but the way they do it is really smart, the only issue I have with this show was Maggie talking to Amelia about the racist stuff, and at another point (correct me if I am wrong) but someone was complaining about how hard something was for them and the she went on to say how hard life was for her because she was black, which I don't have a problem with, but they way she did it was like she was saying that the other person's experience wasn't as bad therefore they shouldn't be complaining which obviously wasn't the Intention but was the way it was perceived
I think greys was the catalyst to be becoming a feminist. Whenever i would feel down abt my future i would motivate myself by telling myself that meredith grey did not become a world renowned surgeon by not studying and by day dreaming all the time abt mcdreamy. Also that scene abt izzie, that is one of my favourites ever.
I have my "person" like Christina and Meredith and she's more valuable than any partner I've ever been with. Also, I think Miranda is someone all women should aspire to be
In one of the first episodes when Alex was bullying this nurse and then Meredith calls him out. Then Alex calls Meredith a nurse and then he shows Alex up by showing how smart women really are
Cristina's speeches are the ones that I truly respect and love. I respect them because she always succeeds in explaining her personality and beliefs and as someone who is anti-nuclear family (not having children is ok and marriage is far from necessary). She also reminds me of my Aunt who values her career over her romance.
@@FollowTheBible2 her point is that toxic people twisted the word feminist to be a negative word due to them believing women who say they’re feminists but don’t portray that role or men who don’t believe women should have equality
Christina's statement about kids is amazing, really.
"I respect children, I think they should have parents who want them". Amen, sister.
Her refusal to back down on her decision and her reasoning was so amazing to see. I love that the writers made her unapologetic in her decision and that they stuck with her not having kids, not to be swayed by Owen. It was so important to see this displayed on television. I love that she says she respects children. Not many parents can say that.
It was still pretty cruel to kill Owens baby. The man she claimed to love. She should have just got her tubes tied.
@@alejandravelez6354 That only shows that she loves herself above him, which is an amazing statement. She won't put her dreams and plans aside just because of a man. He can have a kid with whoever he wants, it doesn't have to be her. Why does she need to sacrifice herself for him?

Personally I think the hall of women for the assault victim, April standing up for being a virgin, Meredith telling Zola never to date a guy who cant handle her power, and something from Jo's story shoudlve made the list or at least honorable mention!
yes, like Jo deciding to file for a divorce from her abusive ex. That should have made the list.
How is standing up for being a virgin a feminist moment?
@@EJaramillo its very feminist to make your own sexual decisions
I am so happy that you included Jackson standing up for his mother. A perfect example of a man being a feminist. Thank you!
Men can't be Feminist
@@joss4892The definition of a feminist is someone who wants equality between the sexes. The main reason women are mostly feminists is because we know firsthand was sexism is. Some men do realize that women face sexism all the time, and they can easily choose to be a feminist.
@Hudson Donald Lol ,feminism is not equality of sexes , it's fighting for the rights of women and women only, if men want to fight for their rights ,they can make their own movement ,they don't have to cling on women's movements to ,and if you a guy ,you can't say who is feminist and who isn't ,your nat part of the movement and will never be
@@suhani9912 Sorry but we don't want equality ,google it and google some of the reasons ,cuz this ain't it. We fight for 0 violence towards women ,for equal pay , for our rights ,for 0 abuse, feminism is for women and by women ,not men
@@suhani9912 Men can't be feminist cuz they've never had to face the struggles that women do, they aren't constantly reminded to only be of use in the kitchen or cleaning or having children, they haven't been tackled by society for wearing shorts or no shirts in the summer ,women have
I loved the "you are the sun" scene between Meredith and Christina. A beautiful true friendship.
I am sad to see that there’s the scene missing when Cristina told Owen her past relationship with Burke, and that he took pieces of her without noticing. And that she will from now on never give up pieces of herself for another man. Man, that scene was so courageous, and emotional, and RAWWWW Feminine Power!!!
🤢🤮
Cristina my fav.... For ever ! (With April) the best character of the show
That scene was so great.
Personally, everything Christina did was a prime example of a BADASS BIIIIIITCH. I live for Sandra Oh and her new role in Killing Eve
Seconded!
Thirded
Fourthed! (P.S it's Cristina no H. Sorry I'm weird.)
ok but she acted like mer should have to choose between motherhood and her career and as of she was above her cause she didn't what kids not that's bad but no one said that too. Derek
unpopular opinion: amelia is the most underrated character, her whole character line is amazing from private practice to grey’s anatomy
I agree!! She's awesome
Agreed but with her being pregnant now (sorry if that's a spoiler), I have a feeling she's going to get more time in the forefront.
NiffNiff Hooray me too
angel michelle her growth makes me more and more proud of her every episode
Yuk, Amelia is the worst. I was totally done with her when she had Link pretend to be Owen to her family. What sane adult does this? Now she realizes her baby might not be Link's. She is so irresponsible, reckless. 4 weeks separated Owen and Link and it never occurred to her? Didn't she realize she missed her period a long time ago. I always felt she was a flake and she keeps proving me right
What about when Jo lines the hallway with female nurses and doctors for the sexual assault victim?!?!??!?!?!?!!!
Too recent.
Agreed. This video came out today. It's not like that episode was last week's season premiere.
I hated that. As if that could ever happen in a busy hospital.
Nikki Henry Actually I asked my mom that, because I thought the exact same thing and she told me, “No they would. For that kind of case; they would absolutely do that.”
Nikki Henry you’d be surprised how many people can be freed up for a minute in a hospital. I work in one and there are lots of people who aren’t chained to a computer or the sole provider for a patient. And it would take less than one minute out of your day.
5:45 "It's unforgivable" lmaooo did you forget you lied to her for months while you were married? :'(
Men really be out here hating on girls for tiny things when they’ve done worse 😤😒
@@thatotherchannel7945 really and truly so sickening :(
What do u expect lol Derek is kinda trash. He lied to Meredith for months, was absolutely butthurt about being cheated on in a relationship he didn’t invest in whatsoever, strung Addison along for a year while he was openly flirting with Meredith and didn’t give a crap about how that was hurting his wife, eventually cheated himself and he was slutshaming his partners on several occasions. He’s a hypocrite.
fact: ellen(merideth grey) was paid LESS than patrick dempsey(derek shepherd). she demanded to be paid more but her request was refused she when she asked patrick for support he didn't show an ounce of interest. now he is written off the show and ellen receives the salary she deserves.
When she is the whole reason he is on the show the whole reason we have a grey's anatomy
Source?
Thought the wall of women in 15x19 would have been a great feminist moment. Solidarity among women and stuff like that.
What did y’all forgot that Maggie punched a homophobe?
she was technically defending homosexuals not women, but that was an AWESOME scene
Devan Miller idk i think it was season 13
Definitely because she was defending lesbians
@@gabisinha8596 but isn't that exactly what feminism means.? "Equality for each and all." Sexuality has nothing to do with it.
Chandler's Gizmos it wasn’t 13 callie was in it it was like 12. in the earlier episodes
The scene with Izzy she says, "Just remember that while your sitting on a 200k in student loan, Im out of debt" I have nothing to say, that was amazing!!
Calliope Ephegenia Torres. *My. Queen.*
YAAAAAS. Every time she walked into the room she exuded this "don't fuck with me" vibe and I was living for it. Honestly she was a badass Latina character
# 10
iwas like YEA! 👏..tell him 👏.. thats RIGHT
sorry but isorta laughed wen she was talking in Spanish
arizona was like
"uhm ... "
Yes I love Callie. So jealous she did and had a baby with Mark lol
Except when they have to go to court for her kid with Arizona
YESSS
I also loved the scene when Dr. Hahn confronts the chief for doubting her surgery choices because she's a woman but never asked a ques to other male surgery heads.
Yeeees, I don't like Hahn, but that scene I applaud standing
I love moment 6. I truly expected Meredith not to end up with Derek because, frankly, he f***ed up real bad. And I think sometimes people forgets how he lied to her, made her a mistress, shamed her when she wanted to move on...ugh. Thank God for fanfiction.
Edit: First time I got so many likes, hahahaha! Thanks.
Stephanie Manrique Yup. I had been waiting for/wanting Derek to die or them to split for real since the second season. His departure was an actual party.
True. I always found derek as toxic. He had god-complex. He didn't care about anyone but him. He always treated his sister like crap.
I know right, he was a horrible person I was glad when they killed him off. That was an extremely unhealthy relationship from the start, she is much better off without him.
@Anna Mauricio I agree with you about the separation, but if you are with a married man, this one being separated or not, it does turn you into the other woman. Besides, Derek had literally ran away from the issue and Addie went back to finally get a proper closure. Either divorce me or stay with me, and he wasn't sure! I mean, I understand the "I deserve a moment of pause to decide whether I'm divorcing my wife after spending X Christmases, Thanksgivings and etc., with" but he shouldn't had formed a new relationship, a whole huge 'I'm starting to need space in your drawer' relationship if he had that unfinished business! You wanna f**k around to get even with your cheating wife? Fine. Wanna feel like the man because of it? That's great, I'm all for it. But you don't go with the whole flowers and chocolates with a new girl without having cut ties with the previous chapter of your life.
Sorry for the rant 😅
Anna Mauricio you’re forgetting the prom thing. She slept with him after he decided to go back to Addison.
Cristina standing up in her decision is one of the best moments since the beginning of the show, and that scene where Meredith tells Owen that she was raised by a Cristina and it didn’t gave her a good upbringing. MerTina moments that I miss 🥺
meredith “you don’t get to call me a whore” is so iconic
YES bc how dare you call her a whore after you left her for your wife that you neglected to mention from day one and she chose to move on.
I actually miss Ellen’s acting from the earlier seasons. In the last few seasons she seems more of a side character without any serious scenes showcasing her acting
I know it is bad to say but I miss Dark and Twisty Meredith the acting was impeccable
breakingdawn999 true but did u see last nights episode shew she was the center of it honestly 🤣💀
i think that merediths character has matured and now she’s okay with just chilling. she’s like the wise old owl now and i love it lol
She's matured but her telling the man who killed derek off, that shit was amazing
@@leonm.goldsteinhighschoolf8254 I didn’t like that a court room allowed it. She never seems to have consequences for her actions. Also she maybe angry he contributed to Dereks death but in that same breath she ticked off all the people she was responsible for. Hypocritical.
"they may not be sisters by blood..." Yeah but we'll forever stan the twisted sisters
Christina did tell me that she do not want kids long before they got married he just thought she would change her mind
And he made multiple comments about it’s just not natural or Cristina was just crazy because all women want babies. He pisses me off especially in this past episode with Amelia I and the patient who flung herself down the stairs to abort
everyone thinks that, and it's honestly offensive. Why does nobody say that when someone gushes over someone else's baby? "oh sure, they are cute, but when you start really enjoying your own life, you'll change your mind about having that anchor around your neck".
@@UncoordinatedPixie and he literally tried to stop a patient from their right to have an abortion
@@thatotherchannel7945 WHAT??? What episode is this in? I wanna hate him some more 😩
@@axolotlgrrrr I think the episode name is papa don’t preach
Say what you want about Izzie Stevens but 'I am out of debt' is fucking iconic
WOW! I would have picked Amelia's legendary as #2. Nothing beats the hall of women who protected the female patient who had been raped. That was such an empowering scene and I cried when I saw it. That scene shows both the strength & vulnerability in feminism...as well as female unity!
P.S. It's not too soon. This list came out today (9/30/19). The episode is from last season.
VERY disappointed that this didn’t include the scene where Jo made a hall filled with women to help comfort a woman going into surgery because she was RAPED.
I the beginning I didn't like Meredith, and then I started to see her backstory and get to know her and once I knew her I understood her. Now I think she's a great character.
Yang definitely mentioned not wanting children in front of Owen before that scene.
Yes she made clear that decision for him before they got married, but Owen thought that she would change her mind after, bc in his twisted mind every women wants a child 🙄 he did the same thing with Amelia
@@marialuisamaiacaetano7262 one of the many reasons I hate him
@@axolotlgrrrr me too
Man that Cristina and Meredith scene is so impactful
This was awesome but another top 10 feminist moments for Grey's Anatomy is needed there are so many more from just last season that should be highlighted as well...
I love how Jackson didn’t allow his mother to take the fall for his grandfather sexual harassment .
Don’t get me wrong, Amelia’s great, but that wasn’t a feminist thing. No one questioned that she could or couldn’t do it because she was a woman, it was whether she could do it as a surgeon. It’s got more to do with identity than gender really.
I would probably have the hallway scene from last season as number one because all the women came together to support that patient.
I would have also included Lexie telling Alex off after he objectified her in 7x01. Thought that was a great moment for her. Definitely an honourable mention at least.
That’s just my opinion though
The hallway scene should definitely be #1. I get why Amelia's legendary is on the list, considering how sexist her brother was. It's a little feminist, but much more about stepping from a sibling's shadow.
Jina Koffi agree. It was just that last statement I didn’t agree with where the video says “it speaks volumes about what women can accomplish”
Pretty sure I can’t do this, only a talented surgeon could
Jina Koffi i don’t think Derek was sexist I think that for one he was older and they had a sibling rivalry but more importantly that he didn’t trust her cuz she was a drug addict
@@chideraagu8433: In this scenario, he wasn't. This was more sibling rivalry. In general, Derek was hella sexist. He called Meredith a whore after he broke up with her, he grudgingly helped Cristina after much prodding, and he didn't always respect Callie or Arizona in their respective roles.
While Alex was much worse in the beginning, he made a complete change. Derek never had the same epiphany Alex did.
The wall of women, was so powerful, but also when Jo decides to file for a divorce from her abusve ex. That was a small but empowering moment, especially for other women, who were/are in the same sitiatuon as Jo.
The hallway scene wasn’t even too recent when this video was released and it should be number 1
The best line in greys anatomy to this day is “you can’t pray away the gay”
I'm surprised Alex didnt get the boot after posting pics of izzie. It took a lot of acts to get him to be better.
He’d have to admit to doing it and I doubt he was that dumb.
nowadays that would probably be considered sexual harassment but things were different and even Grey's was different, when I watch older episodes I think, "they wouldn't say that now". I like when they have their own reckoning, like Bailey telling people to quit calling her The Nazi after she had to operate on an actual Nazi.
@Hudson Donald its not a feminist issue, but it is definitely considered harassment. Izzie is working in an environment where her nudity is not part of the workplace. Someone papered the hospital with photos of her meant to shame and humiliate her. It's not the same as, say, her bringing a magazine to the hospital and showing Meredith what she did before she became a doctor. The intent and context are what makes it wrong.
@Hudson Donald I didn't say anything even remotely suggesting that I thought what Izzie did to earn money was wrong. I also didn't say I wouldn't condemn a woman for sexually harassing a man because it goes both ways. You're assuming a lot about me based on one comment, my dude.
@Hudson Donald "What you are really saying is that her showing her body for money was wrong" pretty sure you were the one who suggested that when you said "She had an embarrassing job before they worked together".
Also, Alex did it to undermine Izzie, I have no idea how you're trying to pretend it wasn't. It backfired on him because she stood up for herself, had she had any other personality or different co-workers, things could have gone badly for her. So stop downplaying what he did as if it was anything other than shitty and ill-intentioned.
What about in season 15 when the girl was raped and every woman doctor sottod by her in the hallway??
Soraya Marcano i cried during that moment it was so sweet
They may not have "discussed" it, but Cristina tells Owen LONG before they were married that she absolutely does not want children.
Derek can’t be mad that Meredith was sleeping with other men because he decided he didn’t want to anymore
i love the one..."i can live without you but i don't want to". she is capable enough to get over everything and she can do that too but she don't want too... i am in so much love with this show..
.
Bailey is the best. I don't care what anyone says. She is the best.
The Bailey of the past, because currently her character is annoying
nah
Factz
Why aren’t any of them about Jo?
In my opinion she should be in there!
Agreed. She's an important character (even if she's not an OG), and she has had quite a few feminist moments on the show: most notably the wall of women, and deciding to file for a divorce from Paul
LMFAOO as soon as Cristina said "I don't want one" UA-cam played a diaper ad
AMELIA BEING LEGENDARY IS NUMBER ONE?! COULD IT GET ANY BETTER? Obviously not! I STAN AND LOVE MY QUEEN SO MUCH!
@David Hacking-Bonilla what?
What Avery did was amazing. He lost his family fortune making sure they paid every one the money they deserve, and he saved his Mother's reputation.
Bailey becoming chief was the downfall of the show as we know it. She lost her fire. Sorry to say, but it’s true.
Chana Lerner is I think it’s her being on the bored that’s the problem, Alex should of got yangs seat.
Yesss I used to live for those moments when Bailey was being her badass powerful self and after she became chief they made her seem more soft and try to make it seem like she is overcome by her mental issues but the bailey I knew would’ve been a powerful force after dealing with those issues
I agree they made her petty and emotional once she became chef. She fired Meredith, Alex, and Richard because she was jealous that they didn't have her in loop really?
I think one of the most amazing scenes is when Mer stands up to the doctor that killed Derek at her hearing
Watchmojo you're being lazy not using last seasons' episodes they were brilliant. Especially the episode with the assault victim, it made me cry
Meredith: 'You don't get to call me a whore'
Me: PREACH, YOU TELL HIM SISTER
This entire show is about Women Empowerment 🥰 that’s why I love it so much
Unfortunately there are no male empowermemt in movies.
all department heads are women... or almost! more Bailey! feminist show, I still love you so much!
Meredith and Christina are by far one of the strongest women duos.
When this show ends, my heart will break
Me too
amelia's wasnt a feminist moment, is just badass, regardless of gender, she wasnt dereks shadow bc she was his female little sister, was his shadow bc she wasnt HE, and they all knew HIM, they didnt have two cents about her. i hate when ppl throw the word feminism at anything just bc theres a woman involved. there are a ton of more feminist moments through out the show, and u picked that as ur number one. get ur references checked.
I like when Bailey gives the kids a tour of the hospital and she thinks it was a bad tour but they loved it because all the heads were women and showed them they can do it too
I really like the video but i would have included the moment when all the females doctors, nurses and health personal of a hospital made a line for the lady who was sexually abused. Because feminism is not only about making women and men equal, but be there for a women when she struggles.
but what about men who had struggles?
@@FollowTheBible2 are you really going to complain when a lot of episodes are focus in male problems and struggles and they made this one for women. Really?
@@emiliamunini9292 omfg it mainly focus on the female characters.

How could you miss the scene where Jo gathered every woman in the Hospital to line up the way to the OR for the woman who was assaulted to make her feel comfortable and safe!!!
And that's not the only scene you've missed. So please do make another list
What about that time that Jackson hit on Teddy to get further in the surgery in season 7 and she confronted him
Daaang. Callie standing up to her homophobic father makes me tear up every single time. She's so darn right, Jesus loves everybody.
I love the part when that one doctor was looking for the Hitler and it turned out to be Bailey!
He was looking for "The Nazi" that was her nickname
Where the hell did you get hitler from 😂
This could have been more interesting if the voice over let the characters talk first. Lol. You ruined the LINES by saying the LINES first. 🙃
I know this is a list of earlier seasons moments, but I WILL add two. The moment when Jo lined the hallway with women to help comfort and empower a traumatized patient. I thought that moment was extraordinary. And of course, the moment when Meredith won her Harper Avery.
“U CANT PRAY AWAY THE GAY!!!!!” AGHHHHH THIS WAS MY FAV CALLIE TORRES MOMENT!!!!!!
Amelia has come so freaking far it’s amazing. Going from the Shepherd family black sheep and little sister in the shadows to absolut badass surgeon, kicking ass and taking names while being a recovering addict and a great mom. She’s incredible.
I miss Christina 😭😭😭😭
i miss the old grey’s
What about Jo standing up for herself to Meredith?
When it comes to the men on the show in terms of feminism Jackson takes the cake. Both showed in this top 10 but also him talking to Cathrine about equality when he leaves the show is everything.
The title is going to trigger someone. Better to get ready my popcorns.
I'll get the salt. Or pepper.
This is going to be fun.
why do you think it will trigger someone? And why are you making a joke about it?
@@allisonlang75 because toxic men feel threatened by the word feminist
Damn, I've already seen all these moments, but hearing Grey tell Derek she can live without him always makes my heart super, super heavy. Then she says, "But I don't ever want to." And I'm just permanently sad.
look i’m not a feminist, i’m far from it, but this video made me cry. like even though these are fictional characters like it made me proud and happy to see them sticking up for themselves.
It's not bad to be a feminist :) if you cried in this video, you're closer than you think
Louise Noronha Rodrigues lol nah believe me i’m not, you could ask anyone who knows me and they’d say i’m a misogynist. That’s why it’s so weird for me to have cried and feel that pride. i liked the feeling tho
Hannah Pritchett-Pase ummm aren’t you a woman Hannah? so cringe of you
Christina did tell Owen that she didn’t want kids before they were engaged. The topic came up during a surgery. If he didn’t believe her or decided that she was going to change her mind then thats on him. He can’t blame her for it.
Feminism and Greys Anatomy??? Oh yes that's why I'm here!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly
I feel like this one should have been a top 25 list because there's so many amazing moments that had to be left out since it was only 10 lol
#3 wasn't rly about her gender it was about the fact that each career doesn't get paid the same. A neuro gets paid more cuz u r doing surgery on the BRAIN. Like that's just the way it is. Also the other department heads were women so i don't understand that
The thing I love about greys (from a male perspective) is that they don't force all this down your throat like it isn't blatant that they are promoting feminism, but the way they do it is really smart, the only issue I have with this show was Maggie talking to Amelia about the racist stuff, and at another point (correct me if I am wrong) but someone was complaining about how hard something was for them and the she went on to say how hard life was for her because she was black, which I don't have a problem with, but they way she did it was like she was saying that the other person's experience wasn't as bad therefore they shouldn't be complaining which obviously wasn't the Intention but was the way it was perceived
I clicked on this video thinking it said “10 most funniest grey’s anatomy moments”. I was so confused for the first few moments.
oof hahahahahahahahahah omg tysm, I just imagined that
And it turns out to be "the ultimate compilation of cringe"
I think greys was the catalyst to be becoming a feminist. Whenever i would feel down abt my future i would motivate myself by telling myself that meredith grey did not become a world renowned surgeon by not studying and by day dreaming all the time abt mcdreamy. Also that scene abt izzie, that is one of my favourites ever.
I have my "person" like Christina and Meredith and she's more valuable than any partner I've ever been with. Also, I think Miranda is someone all women should aspire to be
In one of the first episodes when Alex was bullying this nurse and then Meredith calls him out. Then Alex calls Meredith a nurse and then he shows Alex up by showing how smart women really are
can you stop with the subscribing thing? It was a bit much repeating it like ten times
Callies relationship with her dad always gave me a sense of hope, I don’t have that kind of relationship with my dad and I always looked up to them.
i thought that when jo’s ex called jenny crazy and meredith, jo, and jenny all said she wasn’t at the same time that would for sure be on here
I loved Merediths quote "I can live without you but I don't want to". That's a healthy opinion.
What about jo and how they all stood in silence while a survivor was rolled through the hall
mertina is the definition of a strong female friendship 👏👏👏
these were great by April’s “I am a Swan” should have been on the list.
Cristina's speeches are the ones that I truly respect and love. I respect them because she always succeeds in explaining her personality and beliefs and as someone who is anti-nuclear family (not having children is ok and marriage is far from necessary).
She also reminds me of my Aunt who values her career over her romance.
This is so funny to me how people get so offended by one word... lol you're all just proving the point that feminism is still crucial
will feminist do get offended to, very easily so what exactly is your point, no free speech?
@@FollowTheBible2 her point is that toxic people twisted the word feminist to be a negative word due to them believing women who say they’re feminists but don’t portray that role or men who don’t believe women should have equality
