Loving romantic comedies doesn’t make you less of a feminist. Wanting romance doesn’t make you old fashioned. Letting that romance come at the expense of your own self-respect, compromising your standards, or sacrificing your agency to get what you think will make you happy—that’s the real problem. Mindy won’t play it like that. She’s going to stand on her own two feet even when she’s foot-pop kissing. And I hope tonight’s finale makes her feel like Meg Ryan at a New Year’s Eve party or in a park with a dog or on the Empire State Building (fittingly, Sleepless in Seattle plays with the idea of whether or not we can buy into the romantic comedy dream, and it decides that we can), because kids, this isn’t a “chicks’ movie.” It’s Mindy’s life lived on her terms, and she deserves whatever good is coming her way.
