I think the reason she got so much shit for her comment was partly because she's a female.

If Bill Paxton had said something similar, would be so much anger towards him? I don't think so.

For example, I've read numerous comments on ONTD and Ausiello's site where they called her a bitch because she dared to mention that she thought Knocked Up was a sexist movie.

Well, recently Matthew Goode said his movie Leap Year was shit. The majority of people at ONTD praised him and were all "yeah hell!"

When one person dared to ask why Matthew was perceived as ballsy and honest when Katherine was perceived as a "whiny bitch," for doing the same thing, someone replied "Knocked Up is a good movie" and "she's a bitch."

I've never seen Knocked Up (the only thing I've ever liked by Judd Apatow was Freaks and Geeks) and I'm not a Greys Anatomy watcher, but I was disturbed by how differently the comments of these two people were perceived by the public.

Perhaps I'm overanalyzing and perhaps Knocked Up was a great film. I don't know. I just get the feeling that women who are outspoken are perceived more harshly than outspoken men, even in today's society.

Anyway, I think if Chloe feels that this season was crap, then she should have the right to say that.

Wow, that was a long post for simply saying "I agree." Sorry about rambling (again).
