From riese of Autostraddle:

  • In Canadian TV Show “Bomb Girls,” It’s Women and Lesbians First
    Hey-o, did you read a lot of historical fiction as a child? Do you like tough women handling heavy machinery in pants and sometimes changing into skirts afterwards but sometimes just keeping the pants on? Do you like lesbians? Then you’ll LOVE Bomb Girls, a sometimes-cheesy show about Canadian women factory workers during World War II with heaps of feminist and homosexual content.

He finds himself one of the few men on a factory floor of female munitions workers. Read more.
