Thank you. The only season I can call sexism on is TDRI, where literally none of the females were friends. Not even kidding, those "strong friendships" that we saw in TDI? Purely between males this season, and!


 * Staci was written as a first-out character, had no plot other than annoying everyone, and is the only contestant in the history of the series to only compete in one episode.
 * Dakota was given actual development, I'll give her that, but she didn't get along with any of the other girls, especially Anne Maria, Jo, and Staci.
 * Dawn had potential to be a good character but was ultimately tossed away. Once again, no friendship with any of the girls although she did try to befriend Zoey before being rejected.
 * Anne Maria had no development. I love this girl but she didn't grow at all, neither did Dawn really, unless I'm forgetting something. Once again no positive female interactions.
 * Jo is literally ashamed to be female and hates femininity. Someone on Tumblr pointed out that this was part of her character and I agree but it just furthers my point. No positive female interactions.
 * Zoey didn't develop, she didn't change, and the only time she ever stepped up was because of Mike. That's because her entire plot revolved around Mike. Finally, no positive female interactions, her two best friends are guys, and she ends up being overly dependent.

That's why I believe TDRI is sexist, and for further proof, refer to this Tumblr post by TdiAlex. I do not regard any other season as sexist, I'm sorry but the claims that TDWT is sexist are outlandish and insipid.
