I've read into this phenomena, and my understanding is that an XX chromosome body is more resistant to flu symptoms because it's capable of hosting an unborn child, which makes the immune system much more protective. Where as anyone with an XY body is more "disposable" in terms of evolution, and therefore weaker immunity against symptoms.

You're right, but in a way it's better that we were left with great memories wishing there had been more, rather than having them make more and more episodes to the point that it had lost its delightful nuance and originality. So many sitcoms are let to run for too many seasons with the result that we mostly remember how stale and boring they ended up being; definitely not the case with 3rd Rock.

I love the part where she points out being a woman is hard not only because of bilogical issues like hormones, but also the objectification and sexualization. We have a thousand things to worry about when it comes to our bodies and our health and our lives. We are the creators and curators of life, And yet we are treated as if an article of clothing to wear and toss when we show some aging. Personally my life improved when at 22 I gained 30 lbs. In my "prime" when I was supposed to be the most "sex-able" I became unsexy by definition. When I lost the "desired image of perfection" I actually gained my freedom. Catcalls in the street stopped. Men following me as I walked stopped. People hitting me up on social media for sex stopped. The way people treated me was less "worship" and more genuine humaness. I met a man who I'm nearly two years into a relationship with. I'm fixing my mental health. I even started regularly working out. This time, if/when I lose the weight and become "desirable" again, I'll be facing it with the mind that the world is disgusting. The way society treats women is disgusting. But my self worth is not tied to my desirability. I accept myself and love myself. There should be no one else inside our worth beyond ourselves.
@ROFusion16 күн бұрын
@AmberW28, in a world where (for example) women openly reject men for being short in stature, I don’t understand how so many women act as if physical objectification is something that’s unique to being a woman. This type of low self-awareness is a key reason that more men are becoming skeptical of the merits of modern feminism.

The premise for this show was among the best for a sitcom ever conceived. How better to poke fun at contemporary human society than through the lens of characters who are not member of our society? I don't think I ever missed a single episode when it was on the air, and I can only say that about one other show. And my favorite line from any show ever was Sally's at the very end of these clips. "I can handle the mood swings, the emotional issues, the cat calls, the punitive underwear ... because frankly, when I think of the alternative I just have to laugh." Whenever I see a twenty-something wearing something stupid and impractical in an effort to look sexy, I think of this line.

It's hilarious because their human bodies/ roles did not match up with their alien ones. If I remember right, Sally was the macho security officer in her original form and thus being a stereotypically-perceived "weak" woman was an antithesis of what she was used to. It's also why she went into law enforcement: natural fit for her alien form. In contrast, Tommy was the elderly, wise, all-knowing advisor who was relegated to the body of a teenage male whose views were not taken seriously outside of the household.
