I felt like that initially too. However, I keep going back to the BBT because any sexism it has is a reflection of our society and its accuracy in this and with its characters makes it compelling (and hilarious) viewing. I can recognise elements of each character in so many geeks I've met and find myself relating to it more than is healthy. That said, I do wish there were more geeky women in the series, but perhaps we need to get them in real life first. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
