It's got to be more than just misogyny in the writers' room, right? I mean, men don't commit suicide 'round these parts, and I get the impression that Adama's attempt at SBT (suicide by Tigh) would be considered more manly just because if he had succeeded, he technically would have gone down fighting. I'm trying to think of one guy who is broken or has PTSD like some of these women, and I can't think of one. It's beyond annoying.
