Ksenia Samotiy: I'm late to the 'Star Wars' party but it makes all the difference when a woman shows you the ways of the Force
Pop culture has long treated female interest in 'Star Wars' as either accidental or secondary – and the films themselves don't always help 'Things I never thought would happen No. 42: Ksenia sending me Star Wars-related memes' texted my boyfriend a couple of days ago, as he bravely battled through the backlog of Instagram reels I'd sent him. He's not wrong. Until a few days ago, the likelihood of me understanding a Star Wars meme was lower than the chance of something sensible coming out of Donald Trump's mouth. What's equally remarkable is how I finally saw the light (saber). It's not that I didn't know anything about Star Wars, more that I'd never watched the source material. I mostly knew of it from other things, such as the fact that for Ross from Friends, his ultimate sexual fantasy was Leia in a golden bikini. Most of all, though, I knew about Star Wars from my religious dedication to The Big Bang Theory. Not that I'm comparing myself with Penny, of course, but like her (at least in the earlier seasons), I have expressed bemusement when nerdy guys try to indoctrinate me about Star-related franchises, confident that I most definitely have better things to do with my time.
