Women are sex symbols in all shows no exceptions.

They are trying to be less sexist to woman by being sexist to men. Apparently thats ok?

I wouldn't say "no exceptions", but at least this would even out the female biased-ness.

I've been attacked for defending myself against a girl who tried to hit me with a book.

What the FUCK, America? Most feminists seem to think that they're fighting for SUPERIORITY, not EQUALITY. Most feminists are sexist beyond belief, and NOBODY calls them out on it. And if you want to see a shamelessly sexist channel, watch Lifetime. There's one movie off of there that has woman who was abused by her husband for the last 5 months of their marriage try to get revenge on him. How? By MURDERING HIM. Yes, we're supposed to think that murder is completely acceptable if you're a slightly abused woman. Of course, she pussies out at the end, but the guy gets pushed out a window for attacking someone THAT BROKE INTO THEIR HOUSE AND WANTED TO MURDER HIM. Let's review, shall we? Women want total superiority, defeating the purpose of the original feminist movement, they can be sexist till they bleed, AND, murder is completely acceptable if you get abused!

Fucking MORONS.

I may or may not have been high when I made this post.

They have to single out one group of people in T.V shows... White males seems like the least offensive.
Yes it is offensive, But no one is going to do anything about it. Even if they did it would look fucking stupid.

Men are the ones who are abused. Why is there so much funding to breast cancer research but almost no funding for prostate cancer research?

Men can get Breast Cancer as well.

Typical programming is always going to be biased towards a certain race, gender, sexuality or whatever, depending on what kind of programme it is and what the current trends in 'thinking' are. You can't trust most of what you see on TV. Everyone knows that the people behind these shows have their own agendas (usually profit-based) so do yourself a favour and stop watching that drivel.

If the man wins in any show, a woman is very likely to write an angry letter / make an angry call / protest the show, for being sexist towards women.

Today's woman needs to shut the fuck up, because both genders are already equal. They don't want equality, they want to have the best of the world, and leave the worst parts for men.

Although men are usually depicted as being less intelligent, they're also the more likable characters. The opposing woman is usually just a foil for them really. Taking the example of Family guy which has been mentions quite a few times, think of the number of Peter fans compared Lois fans. No one watches the show to see Lois or any of the other females in other programs.

Besides I'd like you to keep in mind that a lot of the creators of these shows are men, so don't get all uptight at the girls. /:

Hollywood's simple mind about feminist issues is laughable at times.

like when all of a sudden a female character shows up shes SO MUCH SMARTER THAN THE STUPID AND SEXIST GUYS OHMIGOD and she proceeds to kick everyones asses, and then for dramatic convenience she suddenly becomes weak and stupid and gets captured by the bad guy's weak little minions that any of the main characters takes down with a single punch. OH NO, I'VE SUDDENLY BECOME A WEAK IDIOT, I SURE DO NEED A MAN TO SAVE MY DUMB ASS RIGHT NOW!

Considering pretty much every show like this is WRITTEN BY WHITE MEN, I don't think you folks are seriously in danger of actual discrimination.

Well that could just be because white men LOVE to suck minorities dicks so they don't get called racist. Same difference.

Stay away from lifetime then. I've seen a handful of shows where the woman is completely incompetent. How come the shows are either extremely for women or extremely against them? Can't there be a neutral?

Sounds like i got the worst of both. Father was a deadbeat fucksack and mom had breast cancer. GOOD FUCKING JOB JESUS, NOW WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Neutrality generally doesn't lead to drama. People love having a reason to get worked up over a fictional programme. The people in this thread who are bitching about women being portrayed as superior to men are still going to tune into the same programme next time because they don't have the sense to change channel.

Good point. I mean, sheesh, there's tv shows about dragons and unicorns and such but that certianly doesn't mean the creator of the show believes in dragons or unicorns.

Men represent the extremes. They are the stupidest of people, but also the smartest.

Women are often portrayed in the media as 'morally upstanding citizens, condescending in nature towards male stereotypes'. Well, last time I checked, bitching behind people's backs wasn't particularly moral. Males do this as well, however, but not as frequently. They also fight, which women don't do, as they are physically outclassed under normal circumstances. However, the media are shortsighted idiots, and see this as 'women being moral' and not being 'women being too afraid to get into fights for fear of getting split ends'.

When it comes to gender, both are equally hypocritical. The trick is disguising it.

I need to get off this fucking computer.
