Penis-Required Viewing

I’ve gotta say, I’m really excited for the day when everything isn’t needlessly gendered all the time. Trying to find a Sesame Street on Demand for my kidlet and the Comcast preview channel show is telling me about shows for my “man cave” that are going to put “hair on my chest”, then lists a bunch of violent / medieval stuff. Fortunately I managed to find and start the episode before it started regaling me with whatever it deemed worthy for “girl’s night”.

I really don’t need Comcast telling me what shows line up with what gender configuration. It just strikes me as so wanton anymore.

“So there’s this show about warring factions in medieval times, philosophical questions of ethics, spirituality, and duty, and fantastical flights of imagination.”

“Wow, that sounds interesting, I think I’d really like to — ”

“So if you’ve got a penis, THIS IS THE SHOW FOR YOU, BROTHER!!!”

“Oh wow, that’s… a bit crass and not terribly relevant, but — ”

“THIS SHOW WILL PUT HAIR ON YOUR CHEST!”

“That seems like you should run it by the FDA. I’m going to slowly walk away now.”

“WATCH IT IN A CAVE, TOUGH GUY!!!”
