'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' Nails What It's Like to Be a Woman in This World

5. Every time Rebecca puts her happiness ahead of her career.

Rebecca's a lawyer mostly because her mother pressured her into it, but we also see that she's good at her job and does enjoy working on cases. Still, she's always quick to drop work to help a friend in need or, more often, help herself get a date. For her, that's the most empowering thing she can do. She's going after what she wants, which is love and, eventually, happiness. As she tells her frenemy Audra Levine, "Don’t forget to be happy. 'Cause thats really important." It's just also really goddamn hard!

6. When Valencia spiraled after her breakup with Josh.

She bought a "now doughnut" and a "later doughnut," and it's probably the most accurate depiction of a postbreakup depression ever televised.

7. When the show nailed the problem with empowerment through sex appeal and makeup products.

A thousand times this.

8. When Heather made an important exception for Rebecca.

"You sleeping with my ex hurts my feelings, but it’s OK if it’s love. It’s the meant-to-be exception," she told Rebecca, before adding, "Like Woody and Soon-Yi are still together, so that like kinda makes it OK, do you get what I’m saying?" Please note: Only the first part of her statement is true.

9. When Heather understood science.

"Sex releases oxytocin, which causes the female to imprint emotionally on the male," she said, because she is low-key the smartest character on the show and should be everyone's life coach.

10. When Heather dropped knowledge.

"Before sex, women have the power. After, men have it." —Heather

"That's a horrible thing to say." —Rebecca

"I didn’t make it up." —Heather
