The episode acts as a series of awakenings for Diane.

What is corporate feminism?

It is the belief that women vaulting themselves to the same echelons as white men is radical progress.

As Diane says after wincing through Lucca defending Weinstein in court, Justice is an equation.

Justice equals the law times the zeitgeist.

The law on its own doesnt stand up.

The zeitgeist in this universe works against the righteous anger Diane has grown into.

Hes garnered the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Its the decade of the women.

But which women is she speaking about?

It certainly isnt about poor and working-class women and women of color who are absent from their circles.

It isnt about trans women.

Zoe puts it bluntly: Youre trying to suggest women get angry about abuse, right?

Thats not the message that helps us in 2020.

Hillary only gets reelected if men dont feel women are leading with their anger.

Nor are they aware of the extent to which their perspectives reflect race and class biases.

In the end, Diane doesnt get her triumphant moment.

There is no splashy victory in the face of the horrors she witnesses.

Which is the most bitterly honest ending of all.
