Of course the women writers do this. It's because they hate men.

It is strange how "incompetent buffoons" rule the world. Maybe there is a lesson for women. But then again maybe women are too competent to understand men. Good question, I think ...

It might be a problem for the mysogenists in this world.
Sadly, there are a few around.

I guess...it's an extended backlash from the "Father Knows Best"-era look at the family. What irks me is the number of truly identical shows on today that really follow the same formula: King of Queens, According to Jim, Raymond, Yes Dear, George Lopez...basically all a rip off of Homer from the Simpsons...
Good ensemble shows (Sienfeld, Cheers, Fraiser, Friends) do also, but point out the ideosyncracies(sic) of all its members.

No moreso than the women who are willing to be portrayed as unintelligent sluts willing to prance around naked (or half naked) to attract attention.
Seriously, I cannot even name the number of television shows that capitalize on sexuality, nor the number of women readily willing to rip their clothes off to become a star!
Television for the most part is nauseating. I much prefer a novel that will stimulate my mind and captivate me with intellectual dialogue and plot.

This thread gave me my chuckle for the day.... especially Puternuts questionaire ,
A good sense of humor goes a long way....
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Deal with it.
