Ppl be like “ I want an actual male gem, not just Steven.”
Jeez, it’s like having only one character
to represent your whole gender
in a group composed all of another gender
is a bit upsetting huh?
I wonder
what
that’s like
no really
can you
even imagine
what this lack of representation
MUST
FEEL
LIKE
This
post
isn’t
long
enough
none of the listed shows are named after the one female character, either
it’s actually physically impossible for me to not reblog this post.
I want to say I’ve reblogged this before, but I’m reblogging again for the brilliant addition of, “None of the listed shows are named after the one female character, either” because FUCKING THANK YOU.
mmmmmhm.
Every time I reblog this, there are new shows on the list.
Wow
it’s almost
as though
this happens
almost constantly
But normally you don’t notice, because it’s not about you.
Big, seminal shows are the worst offenders, and they set precedence:
MASH: 153 award nominations, 54 wins, the finale captured 75% total television audience. 1 woman main character the entire 11 year run.
Cheers: 179 award nominations, 28 wins. Note that Lilith was a guest star and Rebecca replaced Diane, because we can only have 1 powerful, career-driven woman character at a time. The women almost never had an ep about themselves.
