Not sure sabotaging is fair. &quot;Skewing&quot; seems far more accurate.<p>Sabotaging gives the impression that there is a cabal of men actively attempting to drag down the scores of shows, while the data does not reveal that.<p>The data appears to indicate that men are more likely to speak their mind <i>regardless</i> of who the show is aimed at.<p>The sabatage definition requires:<p><pre><code> deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct (something), especially for political or military advantage. </code></pre> But there is no evidence that men are specifically trying to make women&#x27;s TV appear less popular than it is.<p>They&#x27;re just kind of not getting the point that they really don&#x27;t have to review sex in the city because we <i>know</i> they&#x27;re not going to like it.
