I'm still wondering if it is age specific or not, largely because it plays uncomfortably into the "those third-wave post-feminist suck!" syndrome that I've seen floating around before. I've got a few forty-some coworkers who say the same thing, and all the guys I know basically do, with the exception of a few, and I think the older generation doesn't even bother rolling their eyes. They just think the feminists (broad catchphrase disclaimer here) are wrong wrong wrong.

Anyway... Ugly Betty! I do get the liking ^_^. Sometimes the frustration is made worse when I actually do like something and respect it, because then I can see how much more awesome it could be (*ahem*Heroes*ahem*). Whereas some things, I just give up on. But even though I rag on Heroes, I feel bad, because it's trying, you know? As opposed to, say, SPN or Buffy with race; I want to push Heroes to do better, but sometimes I forget to acknowledge that it (and Ugly Betty, from the little I've seen) is doing stuff with race and stereotypes, even if not always successfully.
