I thought Leslie Winklier was great. There's also Raj's childhood friend
who prefers Sheldon. Not to mention Leonard's mother who has me in
stitches.
Penny sort of represents Middle America rather than any idiocy
specifically of womankind, I thought. She had to be a woman, the geeks
obviously wouldn't bother to interact with a 'corn-fed' bloke now would
they?
In the last series she was wailing that Leonard had spoiled her for
going out with dumb men because she now knew perfectly well they
couldn't blow up the moon by bouncing a laser off a reflector.
Nah, The Big Bang theory is innocent, guv! Penny is treated pretty
respectfully and thoroughly counterbalanced by the geekiest and most
independent women I've every seen on TV. The (affectionate) joke is on
the geeky boys.

Well, it's not nearly as good as The Big Bang Theory but I do enjoy The IT

I have a female friend who doesn't appreciate BBT having only one
female lead character who is portrayed as ditzy and clueless. I
suspect that marrs her enjoyment of the show.
That's not strictly true - there was the other girl ("Leslie") in the
first series who dated Leonard and hated Sheldon (played by Sara
Gilbert)... but to be fair, she's only been in 8 episodes over 3
years.
