    I must admit

    I'd be uncomfortable with a lot of these shows. Not only because of what sounds like a lot of awful male characters but that the females don't sound much better. I mean, walking in on someone in the toilet isn't a symbol of 'empowerment', it's just rude. And if my husband carried on like a pork chop just because I might earn more money than him there's no way he'd get anywhere near my goodies once it was all revealed to be a 'misunderstanding'. Geez, sack up son. If you're that insecure there's no way I want your genetic material anywhere near me.

    It's stuff like this that makes feminism look bad because there never can be a middle ground, it's always overly submissive doormat or prickly, ball busting harridan.
