    It was actually a plot point on Friends once. Ross got upset that Rachel told Phoebe about his princess Leia sex fantasy. Ross and Chandler were surprised women talk to each other about sex.

      most sitcom plot points are based in crude ignorant stereotypes that reinforce people’s popular biases and don’t require the audience to ever think, but be coddled by the familiar tropes they have grown up with.

      if they challenged those lazy preconceptions people would not enjoy the show. like if you had a show with women were sex horn dogs and men were sensitive relationship seekers, it would not go over well with a general audience, unless it was a whacky comedy.
