Anyone here seen the Mindy Project? First season: woman MC with 3 woman coworkers and several close woman friends (Best Friend is a tier, not a person). By S3 most of the coworkers are men and the non-work friends are nonexistent. By S5 MC actively hates women. I am still bitter about how this show progressed from By Women For Women to The Network Wants Universal Appeal Even Tho Men Don’t Watch This Show And Never Will

That's just Mindy irl.

Her character is male obsessed on the office because it's an extreme version of reality. 

Even her books are just obsessed with men

Obsessed with men ≠ hating women. Obviously the character and possibly the creator is obsessed with romantic comedies and romantic love is at the forefront. As it is in MANY sitcoms, like HIMYM or Friends or even Scrubs. But what happened with the Mindy Project was the complete erasure of woman characters and friendships and the MC’s personality as a good friend and cheerleader of women.

You said hate, I dont really think so.

There is literally an episode called Mindy Kaling is a Misogynist and it’s about how she hates other women and basically sees any female coworker as competition for male attention.

Oh. I read your comment wrong, thought you said hate men. 

I agree but mindy is like that, that's why I dont watch her stuff. Always happens in her shows

Yeah but again, that's just Mindy irl. That's what she's actually like, and once she got "famous enough" in her own mind, she didn't need to pretend to be "for the girls" anymore.
