[QUOTE="LMLDallas78, post: 387516, member: 55682"] It's strange that some of my favourite episodes were written by women and yet some of those episodes could be deemed as amongst the ones that are the most "sexist" or derogatory to women. Camille Marchetta was a great writer as others were like Darlene (can't recall her Surname) and Rena Down. If Dallas had been directed by women long term then things may well have been different. Behaviours and attitudes were very different and more accepted back in the late 70s and 80s and even the 90s. It's only in more recent years we can discuss how those behaviours and attitudes seem so wrong now. And of course as well as Susan Howard writing episodes, Linda Gray fought hard (and got fired) to direct a handful of episodes. A male orientated show she used to say. That and the abuse of women.
