Lesbians And Heterosexual Men Agree "The L Word" Sucks. But None Of Us Can Stop Watching.

Posted by Jake Kalish

 

Thank you, Thane McAllister. Ms. McAllister has posted on the sapphic website afterellen.com the "Top 10 Reasons Why This Season Of The L Word Sucks!!!" And though Thane McAllister appears to be a butch lesbian while your humble correspondent is a (vigorously) heterosexual male, I couldn't agree with her 10 reasons more, especially when she later added on the "pregnant man" storyline as the 11th item on her list. Although I might myself add a few - like Pam Grier's dialogue. But that's quibbling. What's important is that we've found common ground! Also, neither of us seem to be able to stop watching this damn show. Nor can the respondents to  McAllister's post , most of whom air multiple complaints, but all of whom know every storyline this season. We're all in the same boat, sisters. In responding to a response to her list, Ms. McAllister writes that Rose Rollins' character Tasha has a laugh that "makes my uterus wince." That laugh makes my uterus wince! I don't even have a uterus!

Here's the list that brings heterosexual men and lesbians together:

Top 10 Reasons Why This Season of The L Word Sucks!!!

[Spoiler Warning] 

Let's be honest; every since Carmen's departure in season 3, TLW has been unbearable to watch; apart from seeing hot lesbians "do it" on an almost constant basis, there is really no reason to watch this show. That being said, here are my top ten reasons as to why season 6 of The L Word sucks so hard.

1. Jenny and Shane's affair (Ilene pulled that one right outta her ass!) 2. Helena (why is she even a regular cast member? She hasn't had a good storyline since she's been on!) 3. Kit's wardrobe & that big-ass drag queen/potential suitor (WTF?!?) 4. Jody (why is she being such a douche-nozzle? We get it, Bette cheated on you, get over it!) 5. Tom & Max (this should have been number two) 6. Everybody arbitrarily exclaiming "I'm gonna kill Jenny!" (Just do it already!) 7. Shane & Alice's hair (they should have kept the stylist from season 2) 8. Tasha's laugh (enough said) 9. Pappi's reappearance 10. Nikki's "T-Mobil Tirade" (you're outta my top 5; lol. What is she, 16?!)

Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.

He's the coauthor of The No S Diet and author of The Year in Weird, along with hundreds of magazine articles. He lives near the beach in Los Angeles, just like the gang from Three's Company.

Nicole Ankowski has lived in Ohio, Oakland, and on the high plains of South Dakota, but is now proud to call Brooklyn home.
