I need to say that I'm finding this conversation is very frustrating. If you don't want to watch a show that lacks female subjectivity, then I don't think this is the show for you. No one is holding a gun to your head. I hear good things about the first season of the X-Files, though.

I guess that I think that the whole "boys won't read books about girls" thing is ridiculous and something boys need to have beaten out of them, so I also think that it would be hypocritical for me to say "well, I won't watch this because it's about boys." Mileage varies, and I understand if the show doesn't work for you, but I don't feel that I'm letting the side down by not caring about this issue for the reasons I've elaborated on above and below.
