Feminism

I love this show be cause it is standing up against Feminism. This is evident with Alan inexplicably paying large amounts of alimony for two ex wives, and also be cause Rose tortured and killed Charlie. Why does this article not contain any information that Two And A Half Men was created to promote Men's Rights?! In Correct (talk) 12:36, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can you cite your sources? pcuser42 (talk) 22:32, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying. I will look for them now. In Correct (talk) 22:33, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Feminism and Mens Rights might not be the correct word to describe it. Although I observed Judith to have feminist intentions, I was mainly wanting to add to the article a sentence about the male characters were struggling emotionally from failed relationships. I have found a source with the interview about Lee Aronsohn, but the source is from The Daily Beast. In Correct (talk) 22:47, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SINCE YOU BRING UP SEXUAL POLITICS... Why is it not mentioned that Judith divorced Alan after realizing she was a lesbian? http://twohalfmen.wikia.com/wiki/Judith_Harper-Melnick — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.209.243.70 (talk) 20:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This show has received plenty of criticisms from various groups, not counting those who criticize its apparent lack of quality. I don't see this show as anti-feminist in any particular way. Fyi, Alan deserves everything he gets for being one of those creepy "nice guys". Yerghhh.--86.182.217.178 (talk) 18:29, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New Criticism Section

Please do not misunderstand be cause I like Two And A Half Men (or the first few seasons as I have not seen the more recent seasons) but I ended up creating a small Criticism section. I was going to place the information into the Production Background (premise) section but there is no such section. There is only a "Production" section which mentions the problems that occurred during production. (more like Controversy. perhaps the "Production" section should be renamed "Controversy" or perhaps "Controversy and Criticism"??) Currently, the Criticism is at the end of the "Production" (more like Controversy) section. The information I found doesn't seem to fit a "Premise" section. It seemed to be fit better in a "Criticism" section. But please do not accuse me of trying to smear this show. I am not trying to smear it or promote it. I only wanted to add a few sentences or perhaps a paragraph. In Correct (talk) 23:22, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming The "Production" Section

I think it should be split and renamed as "Controversy" and "Criticism" or perhaps renamed "Controversy and Criticism" because that section is slightly more about Controversy occurring during the production. I did not find any information about the background, premise, or technical aspects. Who else agrees? In Correct (talk) 23:27, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
