        @SamuraiCowboy45 For that matter, who says that Penny is a "dumb" character? Has @jiabrahams ever watched #BigBangTheory?

        @hydar @jiabrahams Jessica probably assumes Penny is dumb, because her character comes from the MidWest.

        @jiabrahams She's the most powerful character on the show. She's the bond that keeps them together. More women should strive to be her.

        dumb @jiabrahams? A change in perspective may allow you to see what Penny has taught those "smart" men. Now who is putting down women?

        @jiabrahams Her salary for playing the more grounded, cool character on the show is EQUAL to her male co-stars, btw.
