confirm a difference between men and women. I am occasionally subject to these shows in public waiting rooms, and they make me want to pull my hair out.

The noise! There are typically three women on scene together and at least two of them are talking simultaneously at any one moment. My first thought is how poorly these shows are produced until I realize that this only models the way groups of women tend to interact. It probably seems natural and right to them even if it makes me immediately look around the room for a remote.
