The L Word came to an end. Really. The show that breaks heterosexual norms and lesbian stereotypes has come to the final episode of the final season. The finale may leave one a bit sad and confused, but watching the retrospective, we see again how the female-dominant cast and crew beautifully present a story that's not only about lesbianism but also human relationships, sexuality and gender issues with wisdom, sensitivity and humour. Excuse me for summarising, but you really have to watch it to understand. Whether you are female, male, transgendered, homo/hetero/bi/pan-sexual, there should be something in the show (besides sex scenes) that's for you. Start from episode 1 of season 1 if you haven't watched.

Kimberly Rydzewski quit America's Next Top Model (Cycle 10) because she did not have interest in the fashion industry. It might seem ridiculous to a lot of people why this girl chose to be there in the first place, but the reactions of judges and model wannabees were more comedic than the offered elimination itself. What's to be so appalled? It's always in the middle of a relationship that we realize something is wrong.

看《兩妻時代》， 當中岳母說(要找對象的)女子不用有學問，最重要是能生兒育女、懂得照顧家人。 看海港城廣告，(女)旁述說女人一定要化妝。 看(男)同學的部落格，他的媽媽說男孩不用學烹飪，這是女孩的事。 故事與現實，類似例子身邊常有，不單是人們的意見，女人都紛紛給自己、給其他女人(和男人 ─ 特別是兒子)評價，評甚麼應該、甚麼不應該。同樣的情況也發生在男人身上。性別在社會決定一個人的各種人生取向、抉擇和行為 ── 應該說，社會以性別(當然還有其他因素)界定這些。
