<< I agree. However, it's one of the parts that makes me mad. Why is it
always the woman who has to more conservative? It was even worse
at the beginning, when she tried to "scientifically" explain
everything that was going on. It would be nice to have a show
someday, where the woman is "venturing into unknown" and looking
for the "little green people" and the guy is hiding behind either
science or religion. >>
I don't know. I would have said that The X-Files shows gender roles
unconventionally in that the woman takes a "rational" hard-science approach
and the man is given to flights of fancy. I guess it all depends on your
perspective.
Did you see Contact? Now there was a woman in search of "little green
people"!
