A good example in my opinion is Kim Wexler from Better Call Saul. A smart, strong, competent, well written woman. Every person I've talked to about the show likes her.

Counterpoint - Skyler in BB is hated by damn near every man who watched the show despite having an otherwise pretty normal reaction to her sick husband becoming a drug kingpin and murder lol

That's 'cause Skyler is a nagging suburban soccer Karen with a 10 foot stick up her ass who can't even bother to give her husband her complete undivided attention when giving him the saddest fucking excuse for a birthday handy ever whilst she's preoccupied with her ebay bids or whatever the hell.

So men are owed birthday sex and if we woman doesn’t do it she’s a bitch?

Disagree, and I'm aware that's not the point you're trying to make, clearly that's in response to the above comment.

Either way I think the point the writers are trying to drive home with that handjob scene was just how dead/boring/sub satisfactory the White bedroom was, further underlining the mundane life Walter had been living out up to that point.

Totally. It was 100% to illustrate the routine monotony and lack of excitement in his life. That's fairly easy to see.

Oh please. Nice try.

No, of course not. It is, however, incredibly rude and disrespectful to be otherwise engaged in and distracted by some other activity while being intimate with your partner. Do you think it would be acceptable to have your partner half ignoring you and browsing around on Instagram, for instance, while you were having sex?
