This reminds me, very slightly, of the Heroes panel at Comic Con two years ago... a woman got up and asked the guys who created the show if they would be expanding the roles of women to something besides a cheerleader and a stripper.... And the guys were all offended like 'how dare you think we are sexist pigs? We are good guys'... they wouldn't even give a thought to what was really obvious to every woman who watched the show (ie that it was created by sexist pigs). It didn't mean that I hated the show, but it was disappointing that these guys were so unaware of what they were doing, and didn't care enough to even discuss it.
