Why is everything about sex?

Yes generalising here but Maybe I'm unusual cranky at the mo but I'm so sick of everything I watch being about sex and being in love! I'm not saying they're not important but there's more to life than just this surely! Where can I find decent shows with a strong female character going off grid or travelling or doing something amazing!!!
Im so annoyed that there are still so many shows peddling the usual male lead after the pretty woman who he then beds and she walks then around naked for the rest of the show!

Any recommendations?

I reckon the only place you are guaranteed to avoid this these days is CBeebies.

Why is everything about sex?

Films featuring women are about sex because heterosexual men dominate the film industry and can't tell the difference between the concept "women" and the concept "sex".

As in the phrase "Wine, women and song" when they mean "Wine, sex and music"

Where can I find decent shows with a strong female character going off grid or travelling or doing something amazing!!!

In a world where women are in positions of influence in the film industry

What's that phrase?

"Everything is about sex. Except for sex, which is about power."

So true.
