    Being a woman who watches a lot of television, I'd argue that it's hugely important to deconstruct and analyse TV shows. The way women are portrayed in the media (particularly in Hollywood) continually perpetrates stereotypes which reinforce sexist expectations of reality, and it can also just be incredibly frustrating and upsetting if your gender is either consistently subjected to misogynistic characterization, underdeveloped or relegated to the sidelines. The same applies to the portrayal of all minorities on television and in film. These things do matter.
