Logan's Family Doesn't Like Rory | Gilmore Girls

[@theinternetisnotreal1]

The minute Rory said 'Do they know I'm a Gilmore'. That's when I knew our girl was lost forever. It shows she totally bought into same classist hierarchical view of the world like Richard and Emily. What Lorelai tried so hard to fight against. Edit: Agree with the comments here, yes of course she is lashing out. But there is a grain of truth to what she says so instinctively. What she is basically saying- is I deserve respect from your family not because I'm a really smart, kind young woman who was raised by a single mother, who had to work very hard for everything you take for granted..... but because I come from a very rich, influential family, who has a legacy as old as Logan's. And of course, this logic is deeply flawed. We see that this shift really affects her later on in life, as she navigates the world. She drops out of Yale, because she is criticized for maybe the first time in her life, and can't handle it. In 'A year in the Life', she shows up at a job interview, completely unprepared and expects to just be given the job simply because she is who she is. This goes beyond the simple teenage angst, and speaks to a sense of entitlement that she develops.

[@long_slow_distance_]

They were way out of line, obviously. But this is where I realized why I dislike Rory (apart from her being a serial cheater her whole life). She rants about being poor and having humble upbrining, but then she says things like: "Do they not know I'm a Gilmore"? Very much implying that she WILL flex and use that everytime it benefits her. She can (and does) use both worlds as she pleases. She can be a small town girl who knows all about the struggles of the lower class and critisizes the rich. And she can also be the rich, privileged girl, from an important family, who got into great schools, because of her grandparents money and connections. Also, they do treat her the same way Richard treated Dean and yet we're generally meant to see Richard as the sympathetic grandpa (personally I could always sympathize with Emily more than Richard, but that's just me)

[@cg8397]

She's not a Gilmour, that's her mother. Rory's lineage is her deadbeat dad, her real surname should be Hayden.

[@Pinkmomo_]

But think about from her perspective, she WAS raised in a small town and was poor, But then one day her life changed when she got accepted to Chilton on her Accolades…not her grandparents… She then saw her family lineage and accepted it slowly Now Yale was a different situation, by then she had changed.. The fact remains that she was both of those girls, rich and privileged, poor and small town…

Well honestly Rory did grow up in a different world than Logan she lived in a shed behind an inn but yea she was from a wealthy family but she was part of both worlds

1. Shira is obviously a gold digger trophy wife type of woman and grandpa is ok with her. 2. This "discussion" can wait until Rory is no longer present. It's extremely poor manners to treat a guest like that. 3. They hate Rory because of her mother. She is born out of wedlock, from a teen maid mom who ran away from home and disgraced her family and a deadbeat father. 4. They probably don't want a career woman as Logan's wife since they think a woman's place is supporting her husband. But I don't think this is the reason they rejected Rory.

[@potocatepetl]

He was ok with Shira because she was happy to be used as a rug by her husband and his family. No matter what Mitchum did, she followed him like a puppy keeping an idiotic smile on her face. The last thing they needed was a woman who wanted a career and could be part of discussions that didn't involve superficial topics like the other wives. They were looking for a trophy dumb wife, nothing else!

[@cg8397]

#3 is the winning answer. Rory is NOT a Gilmore like her mom, her real lineage is the deadbeat dad. Her correct surname is Hayden.

[@franciscoancer2618]

I'm not so sure if he was okay with Shira, remember that this is like 20 or 30 years after Shira and Mitchum were married. It's possible he gave up on hoping Mitchum would marry someone else and is just desperate to stop Logan from marrying Rory because he doesn't want his grandson to marry someone that doesn't fit their classist standards like Mitchum did. Who knows, maybe the reason why Mitchum married Shira is out of rebellion.

[@TheChewyleaf]

But the Hayden’s are also rich and from the same social circle. I think it comes down to the being born out of wedlock and raised away from the rich lifestyle

There are a lot of dynamics to make this scene one of the strangest in all 7 seasons. The girl, Rory, has grown up with her single mother, Lorelei, in financially normal circumstances. And both like to be two modern women who celebrate their independence. But Lorelei actually comes from a very different background: Her parents are very rich, well-known people, the “Gilmores”. Lorelei and Rory repeatedly fall back on their parents' money and influence over the course of seven seasons. Some see this as extreme hypocrisy. Others say that Lorelei is only trying to achieve the best for Rory. In this scene, you see something very uncomfortable: you would expect a modern, independence-loving young woman not to care much about being thought “inadequate”. But here we see that Rory is well aware that she is insanely privileged and openly uses it to her advantage and in her defense.

I’m Gilmore, and she compared herself to Josh ow loooord she was self-entitled. Sometimes being nerd and coming from rich family is not enough for other people. The are certain qualities they want. Rory was to much babied and not prepared for the world. Also not strong enough for corporate world or Journalism, which is something different on Logan. So the family wanted someone who would be strong support structure. The internship was also a test of character which she failed dismissal because she was busy playing assistant and learning about decaf and Mitch favorite things instead of hitting the ground running at work. The delivery of the family was not good way to do things/ it was really bad. Considering all thing I think the main take away is that she was considered not character fit for the family. Logan family never gave him birthday celebration because they never view that as achievement, they only reward when you achieve something in life. They let him to be in life and death brigade because then were developing his risk taking ability. Some may view this as being harsh but they were developing him to take over the business. When they noticed that sometimes he can be little carried away and not know when to stop, they considered to also be invested in someone who will marry him. Meaning they want someone who also have strong characteristics and will be around him all the time to guide him, which is something that is far from Rory’s career aspect and dreams. Rory on the other side, was rewarded for nothing, buying building in her name without any achievement, backing her up every-time she make mistakes and not call into order, singing high praises just because she was smart. Princess Diana vibes all the way. His family being family friend with her grandparents means they had a lot of time vetting her when she was growing up and she wasn’t the cut for them. Which made sense why they never went to her family functions with their son and arriving late on that auction party Gilmore organized.

Dean was the most decent one until she cheated on him with jess. All of his previous misteakes were a silly highschool boy thing. Logan on the other hand is a grown ass adult

[@Romy-90]

I agree and I'll always be so upset that she didn't end up with Marty for example, who was down to earth, a hard worker and shared her interests. He would've kept Rory down to earth and relatable and not inflate her ego like the relationship with Logan did. plus, the writers set up that relationship really well with their first meeting. but unfortunately they also made Marty super whiny in the end.

[@SLangel18]

This is the moment Rory realized she would have to choose between her what her mom taught her and what her grandparents did. Is she good enough for Logan? Yes but that’s not what they want. They want a classic society wife like Emily that will put her aspirations to the side to support her husband’s. In this scene Rory didn’t even think people would look down on her because she had one foot 🦶 in society and one out. Knowing what we know now, she would have been better off leaving her aspirations behind and marrying Logan. At least she would have been rich. Of course, she would have never been happy and she would have regretted not taking a chance on her career. But all her life her mom had wanted her to go the Harvard… a very elitist school (so clearly something her parents told her stuck with her) and she just assumed that Rory would somehow come out of it the same. As if hanging out with all these rich white brats and going to the same social functions would have not have altered her complete world view. Laughable now as we know you are who you hang out with. And yes Marty was a guy like her that came from working class but Lorelai really set up her kid for failure if she thought that not being in the same social circles wasn’t going to help push her daughter in her career and you need to know people in the industry. Another big mistake Rory made…not utilizing her connection to the Huntzberger name. That was Mitchum was really talking about. She didn’t take advantage of it because it felt like cheating but really it was separates you from your competition and that’s what really life is like. Making friends with the right people. And anyone that hadn’t had that connection would have bent over backwards to achieve it. Rory had it at her disposal but choose to try to do it on merit alone. A fruitless endeavor.

I don't know about anybody else, but Rory & Logan's relationship progressed naturally and beautifully, and honestly it made sense for the two of them to end up together. Dean was a good first boyfriend, but he made some serious missteps and he and Rory ended up in very different worlds. I never liked Jess. His whole "diamond in the rough" tough guy, secret genius shtick was tired. He was a jerk from the beginning, and yes, by the end he became a decent person and a published author, but still...putting them together would've felt forced. Don't even get me started on Paul!

[@stephanieperez3451]

It bothers me so much when people get mad at RORY for saying in PRIVATE to her boyfriend “I’m a Gilmore.” It had nothing to do with her saying that she cannot be treated badly because of her last name. She’s making the correct statement that they could not sit there in good faith & pretend that her family isn’t prestigious enough for their son- 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜. It’s shown many times throughout the show, even at this dinner, that they look down on the Gilmores because Lorelei left high society & taught Rory ‘bad’ ideals like being a working woman. Emily & Richard worked too hard to defend their spot in society for Rory to allow these people to stomp on their family name as though they’re lower than their colleagues& yall are HORRIBLE if you think she shouldn’t defend her grandparents name.

[@augustschild7775]

I would agree with you in defending the family name. Emily and Richard, however, are revealed as being just as classist when they shanghaied Rory into a party they organized for the sole purpose of getting her a suitable match, not caring she was involved with someone not up to their standards. They got a taste of their own medicine.

[@stephanieperez3451]

@ I think you may not be understanding. The issue Rory had wasn’t that his family was being classist. The issue is that they were pretending The Gilmores weren’t in the same 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 class as them, which they were. They weren’t looking down on poor people for being poor. They were looking down on rich people for having a daughter that chose to work- and were against Rory wanting to do the same. It didn’t matter if Rory inherited every cent of Emily & Richard’s bank, or even if she were richer than Logan. The issue was that she wanted a career. The judgment came from looking down on them for their lifestyles, not their economic class.
