i'm genuinely surprised...i got all the way to the third page of comments before seeing one about him having a small penis.

thankfully i saw at least 10 accusations of him being a misogynist before 2 and a half pages into the comment section. anything different and i REALLY would have been shocked.

It's kind of hard for me to take seriously a guy who made a show as tiresome and unfunny as Two and A Half Men.

Time and time again we hear that part of why women are underrepresented in comedy writers rooms is that they simply don't apply for as many positions as men do. Gee, we can't imagine what could be keeping them away.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Women consume 2/3rds of media advertising, and are the majority of retail spending. EVERY FUCKING SITCOM AND DRAMA IS ARTICULATELY CRAFTED TO APPEAL TO SOME PART OF THE FEMALE DEMOGRAPHIC. Desperate housewives, dancing with the stars, every fucking sitcom since the 70s... Not to mention that all of daytime TV is marketed to women...

Is this woman stupid? Is she even in the industry?

Aronson derided the female-centric television shows that have premiered this year on major networks, including NBC’s “Whitney” and CBS’ “2 Broke Girls.”

"Enough ladies, I get it. You have periods,” he said. “But we’re approaching peak vagina on television, the point of labia saturation”

Unfortunately, he didn’t stop there.

“Two and a Half Men” is known for its less-than-flattering portrayals of women. Ahronson, who is also an executive producer of the show, told conference attendees that he didn’t feel bad about how his show presents its female characters. “Screw it… We're centering the show on two very damaged men. What makes men damaged? Sorry, it’s women. I never got my heart broken by a man.”

da womynz be freakin and are on a twitter rampage demanding more women writers. LOL

Lee Aronsohn gets free publicity. LULZ

He's clearly wrong. I don't understand why this article is men's rights. Seems more like women's rights to me.
