Here's my feeling: For everyone, men and women, it's important to be a feminist. It's important to have female characters.

The pilot is her wanting to get married and her ruining her ex-boyfriend's wedding.

That's been the fun of the beginning part of this season is showing her what the challenges are of being married.
