“Two and a Half Men” Creator “Apologizes” For Complaints About Women On T.V.


From “Two and a Half Men” comes a two-and-a-half-assed apology.

Yea, that was weak — but so was “Two and a Half Men” creator Lee Aronsohn’s “apology” (sarcasm quotes) for complaining about the glut of women in the television these days.

In case you’re not in the loop, here’s the quick backstory. Yesterday, word emerged that Aronsohn offered some choice (i.e. offensive) comments on women and the television industry. Specifically, he was tired of seeing so many ladies and their lady humor mucking up his fratastic sensibilities.

Here’s what he had to say, according to the Hollywood Reporter:

“Enough ladies. I get it. You have periods… But we’re approaching peak vagina on television, the point of labia saturation.” The current female T.V. boom contrasts with “Two and a Half Men” portraying women as bimbos, something Aronsohn isn’t about to apologize for. “Screw it… we’re centering the show on two very damaged men. What makes men damaged? Sorry, it’s women. I never got my heart broken by a man.”

Oh my.

As you can imagine, vengeance was swift and it came from all sides — including from our camp. And now, as you can imagine, Aronsohn is deeply sorry, as he noted on his Twitter account. Well, kind of:

Such outpouring of regret!

In fairness, he’d probably emote more here if he weren’t so “damaged” by all the criticism from women over the last day or so. As Aronsohn noted, it’s women can cause a lot of damage and hurt with their words, after all.

    He went on to say something along the lines of “I make dick jokes all day, so I said I was sick of vagina jokes: SEE WHAT I DID THERE?” Condescending a-hole. Not like there’s a sarcasm button on Twitter, and he certainly fit the misogynist bill. Aronsohn is the one apologizing here, so why are we the ones made to feel like jerks?

    Where’s the big public outrage at this idiot?  Thanks, guy, for making it clear that women are NOT welcome in the entertainment industry unless they are under 35 and hot and hide any brain whatsoever.
    Ass.

    Always hated that show, tried to explain it to my father who is fan, that all the women are unlikable, and he countered by saying that “so are the men!!” I agreed they were also unlikable, so I couldn’t come up with a reason why that just wasn’t the same. And now the creator of the show has told me exactly why his show is so sexist. The men are only unlikable because they’re “damaged by women.”
