74. The attitude some people display that anything touching upon sex is sexist...
... is every bit as pretentiously moralizing and full of it as the right-wingers insisting that even breathing a word about sex will destroy children's minds and turn people into rapist perverts. Setting yourself up as the moral arbiter of what other people are or aren't allowed to watch, say, do, etcetera is not only shameful, it's about as ridiculous as saying that an adult isn't allowed to eat a steak because a baby can't chew it.

As far as stereotypes go, I don't see a lot of griping about dozens of sitcoms depicting men as clueless lazy dolts or sex-obsessed assholes, so my tolerance for people complaining about stereotypes in TV is limited to when it concerns bad writing.
