The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/thetake08212 Variations on the terrible trio, like The Plastics and the Unholy Trinity, have long dominated cinema’s and TV’s fictional high school hallways. So what is it about this rule of three and these particular recurring character types that add up to the perfect recipe for high-school popularity and oppression? The “mean three” are ruthless and deceptive with a girly veneer, seeming to tell us that women in power are manipulative, cold-hearted, and dangerous -- or at least they feel they have to project this in order to wield power in a man's world.
