Interesting discussion here - and great words for our favorite - Miranda Bailey. She's always in charge and with a big heart she only shows when "appropriate".

Overall the show seems fair on gender. We monitor shows for cast compostion and find most episodes with a decent gender balance. From our point of view, it's people of size who don't get fair representation.

Miranda's pretty much our only hero and she rarely gets a major role - we can only hope.

Darling C.:
This is an interesting post. However, I'm curious about what you think about the questions posed at the end of the article to which you linked. Do you think that ads are a major cause of women's own physical anxiety? It's easy to say that it is advertisers who make women self-conscious, but remember that at the end of the day, an advertiser will do what sells. So, what came first, the demeaning ad, or the consumers responding to the ad?

The interesting thing about Dove is that the company seems to be in a contradiction. It is a company that sells beauty (personal) products, but it is seemingly telling women not to worry about beauty. How can that be? It's like a car company telling people they should buy bicycles. So what is Dove doing?
