I confess: as a child, watching the show, I myself was much more a He than a She.

In my adulthood, I didn't see this as a conspiracy, but I did recognize that most pop culture is a reflection of its time. It's usually only a select few creators -- including some fine artists and SF writers and social philosophers -- who have the thoughtfulness and vision to conceive of ways that things might be different. I often see old culture criticized because the creator wasn't “enlightened” enough to share our worldview. This is a mistake, and it's unfair.

So even though I wrote Her, I'm not saying She's right.
