Wow. Singapore definitely doing better than Aust. I think Australia's last survey was above 15% difference in pay between the sexes. As for the horror story with the female exec, jesus, I don't think I can respect someone who would do it.

Wow. Why doesn't this surprise me. I was creeped out when Clark Kent spied on Lana, I doubt I will be less creeped out about Claire and this West guy. Stalking is not romantic, and any person who accepts that as the foundation of a relation needs a serious wake up call.

I think I react badly to 'Heroes' because they set out to be 'multicultural', to be all about equality amongst the sexes, and yet they consistently falls into the trap of stereotyping gender, roles and everything else. I have to admit, while I'm pretty happy with SPN's depiction of women on the show (when they appear), I'm highly uncomfortable with the way that they make around 70% of their victims female. Yes, there are a lots mention of men dying, but they don't spend a copious amount of camera time on it. Except for the Sam and Dean torture, but they win so it doesn't count. Overall, I'm much happier with SPN's way of depicting female characters then 'Heroes'. This easily can be the result of having 2 main female writers on the show.

But yes, male TV producers and writers. Gee, and people wander why I have so many issues with female characters.
