It's precisely that it's common.

If I watch Supergirl, I do not want a romance. I want a sci-fi comic adventure that actually, genuinely puts the heroine front and center and validates her experience. If I want the usual "sexist jerk from a culture of sexist jerks," I'll go watch...well, almost everything else in the genre.

It's also worse because this is a show targeted at young women. The message is that no matter what powers you have, you will always be an object -

and yes, you're right that Season One had some issues too, with Winn and the costume and his "friendzone" behavior, or the male characters' chats, but at least they didn't reward anyone for that, whereas Mon-El gets everything: the girl, the storyline, even Lena Luthor. *wry* Rewarding Bad Behavior is my biggest narrative pet peeve. (I don't mind storylines of male characters being assholes as long as the narrative makes clear it's a mistake -- say, Killmonger in Black Panther.)

Yes! Thank you. Him being rewarded for his behavior is what irked me most.
