Tish, I guess that's my point. What's wrong with having feminine qualities, whether you're male or female? It shouldn't be an insult. And that goes both ways. JMO.

Hey, refresh my memory, wasn't Adam really mean to Rebecca the first episode or two? I think he really laid into her when he lost his sunglasses (cuz she suggested that he take them off in a boat.)

Karuuna, the girlfriend remark was MEANT to be demeaning. There is nothing wrong with a male being equated to a girlfriend if the intent is to compliment, not to insult. Or do you think Rebecca has been complementing Adam all along?

I guess I'm not being clear. I do understand Rebecca meant it as an insult. In fact, as I tried to say above, I think Rebecca has been ugly and mean to Adam many times, and it's inexcusable. And Adam has also been ugly to her at times as well. I am just dismayed to know that we live in a culture where that IS an insult. Much like saying "he's so gay" is an insult. There should be nothing insulting about being gay. Or female. Or male. Does that help explain it better? Or should I go lock myself back in my padded room?

i agree, there is nothing insulting about being gay. and my dd insists adam is gay, but he doesn't know/admit it yet. i think he looks like a little devil with his tiny pony tails in the front! is he the one whose mother clipped his toenails til he was in his 20's? i almost fell down laughing when i heard that. not adam's problem--it's his mom's! ick!

After watching this latest episode and reading all of your comments...all I have to say is that Rebecca's comments were dead on, whether you think they're abuse or not. Adam has the emotional maturity of a 12 year old, and it's wearing thin on Rebecca. I can understand that. She's not perfect, nor are any of us, but put yourself in her shoes...
