But people watch it anyway. Not a single one of the women on the show look anything like any of the lesbians I know. Not saying there are no lesbians who look like that. Just saying they are rarer than the show would lead us to believe.
But really, you know that choosing not to watch it would lead it to be cancelled, not revamped to make it more realistic. And then it would be cancelled, according to network executive/morons, not because it sucks and is stupid, but because there is no market for a show about lesbians.
The fact that air-headed men still buy into the "lesbians are HAWT!" nonsense is at least half the reason behind this show. I gotta tell ya, of all the lesbians I know, there are exactly zero of them that I find attractive. Not saying lesbians are ugly. Saying that there is no attraction for women who aren't interested in men.
American culture mostly sucks, and TV is the basement of American culture. If Heather Havrilesky can enjoy it, more power to her. I will stick to reading about it on the internet, not actually watching it.
