I find the relentless all-male nature of this show aggravating. Just as an aggressively gender dichotomous world is uncomfortable for me to live in, a single-gendered world is unpleasant for me to watch.
And I find it puzzling that I have that reaction so strongly to this show where the masculinity, while constant is hardly overbearing or traditional (Neal's shape is the masculine version of the hourglass; Peter loves his wife; no one would normally want to grow up to be a nebbish like Mozzie, but Mozzie is so cool), but that said there were points last night where I felt like we were seeing that hints of softness in men, good! The actual presence of women, tedious necessity!
I completely understand. I definitely enjoy White Collar (rather inspite of myself), but it & Stargate Universe (which suffers from a similar problem, which is worse in that case) are both well outside the normal range of (very carefully selected) TV that I watch, which all have many more central female characters.
