This article is very intersting...
I have seen this argument against the Leonard and Penny relationship time and time again. The idea of nerd entitlement, is both insulting to nerds and to the women who are harassed by them in the real world. So I thought some of you might like this posted. (thanks Dev)
It sums up a lot of my feelings about the relationship the writers chose to support on this show (rather than the far more intriguing Shenny connection).
And the gender reversal in Shamy, another relationship based on entitlement of an 'unfortunate' which is equally as insulting.
