    Where's the show in which a clueless dumb guy lives next door to a group of brilliant female physicists? #BigBangTheory

        @jiabrahams get a life will you. Time extremists stop defining what a feminist is. Stanton and Anthony were, not you.

        @jiabrahams, are you freaking kidding me? Numerous shows star the smart, independent woman that rescues the stupid, fat, helpless guy.

        @jiabrahams - So, the two female regulars on the show that are brilliant scientists don't count? Got it.

        @jiabrahams There are plenty of shows that portray "Dads" in a bad light. Raymond, Modern Family etc where women are heros. #lightenup

        @jiabrahams 2 of the 3 female stars are scientists. Watch the show, then comment. Dumbass.

        @jiabrahams You DO know there are 2 female scientists on the show, right? And that Howard is NOT a doctor and gets made fun of too, right?

        @jiabrahams Let's pretend the show is fictional & not reality, ok? Otherwise infusing everything with social consciousness would be absurd.

        Have you watched the show @jiabrahams? There are 3 smart females. And what about what she has taught the men? Equal doesn't mean the same.

        @jiabrahams There are plenty of shows with Brilliant women. This is just a diff show. Stop bashing women for not succumbing to peer pressure

        @jiabrahams Also, Howard's wife, Bernadette, makes considerably more than he does. There was an episode about him signing a pre-nup.

        @jiabrahams The other 2 female leads on the show are both scientists, or were you conveniently forgetting that fact. #TVShowsAreFiction
