Mean Girls demonstrate how patriarchy shapes young girls, and forces them to behave as sex objects!
How is this appliable to computers?
That is so fetch!
In all honesty though, I quite enjoyed how this article was written. Is there a listing somewhere of articles written like this, with algorithms or concepts explained using analogies to pop culture?
Not what you asked for but you may enjoy Pitch Perfect 237: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiC9X_MoE1M
I looked through the gifs and ended up understanding even less than before.

As a lover or Raft Consensus Algorithm, now I have to watch Mean Girls I guess.
Which movie would you use to explain Paxos?
