It's early and I'm sleepy and I don't have an adequate response to this post.
(although I feel and share the sadness and anger.)
I just wanted to say that I would NEVER force someone to sit and wait for me while I'm shopping. The supposedly "typical female behavior" on this show is just so awful. At this point, if I were a guy, I would run screaming from *any* of these female characters.
(not that the male behavior is much better, but you see what I mean. "Men like to have fun, women are killjoys/buzzkills who like to put their boyfriend/husband through all kinds of hellish tedium" seems to be the theme.)
The idea that it's the *number* of female characters which makes a show more accessible/relatable to female viewers is such a crock. At least, it is for me.
ETA:
This belongs on a plaque somewhere. Or a banner, or something!
