Not unfair. The Hollywood model is wrong, just as Whedon's models of graphic novels, comix, etc. for how women are displayed and depicted is not feminist and is wrong.
Hollywood is a propaganda machine that sometimes actually consciously is working for the established power. They even take funding from the government, i.e. you and me, to produce shows such as Army Wives, funded muchly by the Pentagon. The film, Thunder Road, is a notorious example of the FBI doing the same back when, and more lately, White Collar is another.
Alas, White Collar is the best light-touch, witty, sexy, sophisticated caper romp entertainment going!
