I assume you're referring to the sitcom practice of allowing males to have a variety of different personalities, whereas woman can only be "the cutesy one" or "the humourless nagging wife".

That is an annoying trend.

I don't think that description applies to all of the characters pictured in the OP's secret, but I am extremely tired of the uptight, bad-tempered, henpecking wife/girlfriend as a character. And yes, it's a sitcom trope that has literally existed for as long as television itself has existed.

"Men are childish and clueless, women are smart but unpleasant." Who actually relates to this garbage? And yet, the general viewing public eats it up with a spoon.
