OH SHUT THE FUCK UP ALLREADY..... do you WANT the show to fail??

So, shagging every guy she met made her a feminist icon?

LOL

I never understood how Bulldog sleeping with every woman who walks by him makes him a player pig, but Roz sleeping with practically every man she's found moderately attractive makes her fun and experienced. Double standard.

One more thing--Frasier slept with women at a pace that might rival Bulldog's. Yet another double standard.

Feminist Icon? I guess that means women sleeping around are feminist.

I always thought the weakest part of the show was Roz.

I came back here to read the article. It painted Roz in iconic, glowing, groundbreaking terms, but I came away with a realization for the first time that Roz is really a predictable, stock character. She's the "I am career woman, hear me roar" and "It's my body, and I'll (fill in the blank) if I want to" character. She could've been made far more dimensional with tweaks to that feminist formula.

What used to be considered cutting edge and rebellious is now mainstream, so for the article to be written in 2023 and praise characters like Roz as if it's still the 1970s, 80s, 90s is a bit disingenuous.

I don’t understand how emulating the worst of male behavior, i.e.,treating everyone as a sex object and only a means to personal gratification, makes women out to be “feminist icons”.

Roz was a fairly decent character, but the way she flirted and salivated over every good looking man that she saw, well, it got old really fast. Far from being some strong and independent woman, she came across as an immature, flirty teen-ager.

And to give Bulldog and Frasier equal time, they needed to grow up too and stop acting like horny teenage boys.
