Feminists

Parks and Rec gets more audience than 30 Roc which is finally getting some audience. I want to say that this is an area in which I am really informed and passionate. So that means perhaps too intensely worded. I am always glad to read anyone writing on this issue, and right now I'd like nothing more than to sit down and talk until dinner to the person who wrote that. I kid you not.
It confounds me to hear that framing of the Amy character, as it also suggests that the Sheldon character is not an actual man. She exists as a character to date him. Thus, if she is not date worthy, he is not a real date, and all of this is not correct. This is a really surface thing to do. The show, to me, is saying something unusual and the opposite of what the writer is thinking. The show thinks Amy and Sheldon are kind of sexy. It is like watching someone eat a ham while another tells me that the eating of the ham is to tell us that ham in inedible. The date means she is undatabe. What then does it say of Sheldon? Are they somehow NOT dating due to their looks? When they date, it does not count, as they are not great looking?
So see, I get carried away, and take it rather seriously. I could go on and on. It is as if the writer did not see the shows if you ask me.
On the other hand, on other shows and in general the writing of all people is crappy, shallow and the power is too often in the same old hands. There is lots of sexist crap out there. I'm not sure why the writer holds the word 'housekeeper' as equal to 'nitwit' and I find that tacky. On 2.5 Men, she's the ONLY character who is not deeply flawed, the only one we are intended to actually like much. Unless there is something wrong with her work, she's the only person on the show who is worth a plug nickle as a human. She is also the only working class person on the show. She is the punch line of no joke she does not tell. The rest are full time punch lines at each other, and from her. She is one of a thousand such parts in farce through the ages. That 'type' gets all the first rate one liners and wise cracks. They do not get fatal flaws, they get wit.
I'm going to stop now. The author means well, and we agree on larger points if not the details. I'm glad you posted this! So entertaining. Who needs politics? I got sit coms. Don't get me started on hour long drama, that's where I lose all control.
