humour for women


I can't help but notice my wife's reaction while watching the first two episodes.

we usually watch the same shows and share the same sense of humour.

watching the pilot and the following episode I did enjoy it and found it to be refreshingly original my wife was laughing constantly and saying "that's is so true" or "that's me!" quite a bit so I can't help feeling this is definitely a show for the ladies.

But if you're a human being you can still appreciate the humor because you understand things about the world we live in, even the small things.

It's not humor for women. It's about women.
Still very enjoyable for a man, like myself. Just like I love watching Black-Ish, even thought I'm not Africanamerican.

Agreed. It's not for women, but she is constantly joking about the portrayal of women among other things related to them. It's a pretty good show for everybody really.

Everything on TV is excessively pandering to women only, it's just that she's doing it even more and neither me nor my wife actually find anything she does funny, especially after her recent hypocritical scandal with a "fan".

So? Here's what I don't get. There are plenty of shows that appeal to men, teenagers, women, kids, Baby Boomers, etc. In fact, it's highly recommended for producers to have a target audience so the show has a clear sense of self and pointed direction. This particular production is aimed more at women, though my husband still finds it funny. My qualm with comments like yours is the implication that it being "female humor" makes it somehow less valid. Is it not still humor? If women are laughing at it, does that cancel the validity for some reason? It's like a male-geared movie is just called a movie, but a female-geared movie is dubbed a "chick flick." Why does there have to be an additional and demeaning quantifier on something if women enjoy it? Almost like-- it's not funny, only women laugh at it. Okay.... but that's still a valid opinion, just so you know.

Made just to my taste. What a perfect specimen of a woman!

Why would a female not like the show? I wonder...

Don't place useless labels on things just because you don't enjoy it personally. All it takes is one man to say they like the show and one woman to say they dislike it to prove you wrong. You sure as hell don't speak for me, because I'm a man and I think it's hilarious.
