Again, what kind of perception of men am I supposed to gleam from the shows aimed at men? Gender stereotypes run both ways. Trust me, the men that I know are just as offended by the stereotypes reflected in programming aimed at them.

The anon below summed up my feelings pretty succinctly. Women are not judged by the same standards that men are. Male stereotypes are awful too, but it's easier for them to overcome them when it comes to jobs, pay, respect, etc...

Women are not judged by the same standards that men are.

No shit, Sherlock. But to blame that on some women's tv habits and not the sexism that has existed for millenia is utterly ludicrous.

Who says I'm blaming it on that? Yes, those TV shows are symptom not a cause, but they can still make me sad and piss me off, can't they?

So, what do you mean by your secret?

but they can still make me sad and piss me off, can't they?

But that's not what they're doing. They making you make huge assumptions about how women are perceived. That's going a bit past "sad and pissed off".

What I mean is that I worry television is just another influence on the sexism of this country (America). I worry that it's exacerbating what already exists in a much subtler way.

Well, I do find that people of both genders often expect women to be what those television shows depict on a smaller scale. Perhaps this is just my surroundings speaking.

This was kind of my point. We're talking about television viewing, not sexism in general.

Here's a novel idea. If someone uses the shows that some women choose to watch (nevermind that a] some men do too and b] whether or not they are stupid is subjective) justification to see women as unequal to men, they have underlying prejudices.

And it's a whole lot better to, oh gosh I don't know, work on eliminating those root prejudices instead of blaming women and bemoaning what some women choose to watch.
