It's a show about normal women so of course....


cue the sexism even from my own gender. Every where I go that has a show with women who are strong and not pandering to men issues of how hard down by men are and complaints about women being..well women crop up and i'm so *beep* sick of it. I'm sick of the double standards and i'm sick of you people wanting women to be portrayed as we always have. It particularly DISGUSTS and enrages me coming from females. I welcomed this shows portrayal of women and hadn't noticed any thing about the portrayal of men because i'm not inclined to feel insecure about women being stronger than men not that I think this is what ti is. I see it as women being portrayed as NORMAL women. women i see around me all the time. and men i see around me all the time. god forbid women should be portrayed as stronger than men. i mean that can't be reality can it? men can't be pathetic or NOT alpha jerks. like the majority of them.

It's really pathetic, isn't it?

The "stronger sex" crumbles every time a show portrays men as equally flawed as women. They're just not used to it so they find it jarring lol.

It's like a damn county song. You need to give men the impression they are perfect or they'll fold into a puddle on the floor and cry. Pathetic.
