That is exactly what "demographics" means.

There's no comparing the concept of entertainment v. demographics. No common ground, except for the profit factor, and the truth is that the profits are from the pockets of the younger age groups.

I think it's unfortunate that you find my suggestion condescending. There's nothing I can say to that. The suggestion was made in good faith. I'm sorry it was not taken the same way.

As a woman who worked for years in the man's world of television writing, I was simply trying to contribute whatever small information I had, perhaps making the situation posited a bit easier to understand by someone not in the industry.

I can see that I failed, that it was taken as some kind of "condescending" and personal attack upon people I do not know. I regret that, and I am confused by it.

You do seem to dislike me and what I try to offer a great deal.

I don't know you and I don't understand why my opinions might be worth less than yours. I have lived a life where women stuck together and exchanged everything we had and tried to understand and keep moving forward. If that doesn't honor your "mission statement," I don't know what does.
