Female performers have been doing this for years - pushing the envelope about sexuality - and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out.
And they didn't have to get into a lot of legal speak or talk ER terms, they were real people. I think that's why so many actresses were attracted to it. And it was just about problems that you could identify with so much, right off the bat.
There are a lot of wonderful things created in our culture that have been ignored that can speak to them.
