Full Version: Psych has women issues?
Maybe it's just me but psych or someone on the writing staff seems to have some serious issues with women. In almost every episode Shawn or Gus are falling for a women involved in the case and they are later revealed to either be involved in the crime or are not who they have seemed to be. Has anyone else noticed this? This was just a thought I had until it continued to happen in every episode I have seen.
It is a definite pattern, but I doubt misogyny has any part in it. If it were Shawna and Gertrude, there'd just be bad boys or liers. The writers just like messing with their pants ...er... *minds*. Perhaps one day they'll find "keepers" and the writers just want to build up failures. *shrug*
Well the typical girl thing is to attract a male crowd.. that and O'hara of course. Lol.
It's hard for me to see this show as one with "women's issues". The women police officers are generally portrayed as sympathic and intelligent. Contrast this to the male police officers both past and present, who are generally portrayed as insenstive idiots.
Seems like reality to me. Lol..
I mean, I'm a guy, but I know women are occasionally over-sensitive, and us guys are generally.. unsensitive idiots. Still, it makes you relate to the show more. Me anyway.

Good point. It's like "Monk," where Sharona was always falling for the bad guy. It might get stale if they try it too often (as it did with poor Sharona, whom I was really starting to feel bad for), but I don't think it's meant to be misogynistic.
psh more like misogynarious! Wow nvm that sounds like a disease.. Never try to add halarious to odd words.
Aggiornalarious.. sounds like a mouth disease.

Muahahahaha! I have discovered the secret to finding old threads! I'll comment the ones I think are interesting or whatev. This is so cool! Google rules!
A love interest is one of the easiest ways to introduce a new character. Unfortunately, this method gets old fast.
And I agree that it always seemed to happen to Sharona on Monk, but it also happened with Captain Stottelmeyer when he fell for the real estate lady. And Randy was on a date when he discovered the dead cab driver (forget the ep title). I know this is a Psych forum but I can't really recall any examples of this from the show. I just think that romance is an easy way to segue to the meat of the plot.

I know it's not misogynistic (Just more surprising, because people DO expect guys to be more likely to commit murder) and that female murderers DO exist. But would it hurt to have more female protagonists, or on the force? I think there's five in total, and the secretary officer is gone from the show. Personally, I'm just saying this cause' I hope they'd add me to the show.

Shawn tends to get easily distracted, you know? It's his character. I kinda like the thought of Jules sorta alone on the force. It means she needs some one to support her more. (aka SHAWN!!
