When it comes to the male gender, there are certain things I’m not always proud of as a guy.

1) I’m never proud of those jerks who treat girls like dirt, thereby giving the rest of the male gender a bad name. It’s because of you that girls are wary of us men and our intentions when we try to talk to them!

2) I’m not proud of guys who fight for no reason. Any real man knows that whenever a disagreement arises, it need not be settled with fists … try using your words, or a solid, competitive game of tackle football … or Guess Who.

3) I’m also definitely not proud of my male cohorts’ actions this past weekend with the news of a “Girls Gone Wild” appearance. If you were smart and decent guys, you would’ve dressed up like the “GGW” crew yourself and gone around to different bars pretending you were the ones “filming,” instead of causing a sausage fest to ensue at a reputable location such as the Rathskeller Pub. (Disclaimer: I’m actually not proud of the objectification of women at all, but that’s beside the point.)

There is one thing I am proud of though. I used to be embarrassed, hesitant to admit it even, but it is time to announce it once and for all — I watch “Grey’s Anatomy.”

I think Dr. McDreamy is, at the very least, moderately dreamy, despite making poor relationship decisions when it comes to one Meredith Grey and his slut of an ex-wife. I think Izzie probably made a bad decision when it came to unplugging the very cables that were keeping her would-be husband Denny alive. I even think that Alex Karev, despite his scandalous and disrespectful ways, has good intentions. In case none of the above made any sense to you, then hopefully this will: I am not embarrassed of watching “Grey’s” or any other show, for that matter, that is associated with a primarily female audience, and nobody should be.

I used to hide the fact that I watched “Grey’s” by watching it alone in my dorm room with the door locked, but as it gradually dawned on me that I wasn’t the only male fan hiding his enjoyment, I realized that it is nothing to be ashamed of. More important though, I realized how frickin cool this riveting drama can be. I challenge anyone to provide me with an example of another program that shows as many life-threatening disease outbreaks, patients with trees and/or poles lodged in their chests, women with multiple uteruses (also known as poly-urterii) and scandalous sexual escapades per episode. With the exception of Barney and his slutty friends, I know you’re drawing a blank right now. That is because “Grey’s” is not just a show primarily watched by women … it’s a man’s show for men to watch with their women!

So bring it on “Oprah,” “Desperate Housewives” and “The View.” You got a lot of ground to cover with “Grey’s” kickin’ ass.
