THIS is the crux of the so-called "backlash" against this show. People simply don't enjoy being told how wrong they are for not liking something nor do they appreciate long-winded screeds explaining WHY they don't like it. No one is denying that the "show needs more bewbs derrrrr" commenters should crawl back under

"Oh man, I really hate those awful women on (insert critically reviled show title here), what a bunch of insufferable bitches"….ha ha ha, yeah, so true, they suck…(15 "likes").

Oh, OK, I see. It all depends on CONTEXT. Not enjoying a "critical darling" show centering around women makes one a "sexist", but it's totally OK if, for example, the show in question is a national joke? Thanks for clarifying.

People who rag on Snooki, Deena, Sammi, J Woww and Angelina must be sexist too then. Oh, wait, I stand corrected. When THOSE women behave badly and act like slobs it's "bad" because it isn't "art", right? So it's perfectly OK and totally non-"sexist" to dislike them. But "Girls" is making some sort of "statement"
