Everything about the show “Girls” rang true for me until the last scene of the season two finale episode, which made me sick to my stomach. Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) is going through a spell of OCD panic, so she decides to Skype her ex-boyfriend Adam (Adam Driver). As soon as he senses her distress, he drops everything he is doing and runs to her, shirtless, through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y.

Now what person in their right frame of mind takes the subway with no shirt on? Let me think … no one. Adam finally reaches Hannah’s apartment and breaks down the door to get to her. Hannah is hiding under her sheets, and as Adam pulls the sheet back, there is Hannah frail and alone. He picks her up in his arms, cradles her like a big baby and then kisses her.

This, ladies and gentlemen, was the moment I despised Lena Dunham for writing this scene. Although sweet and a perfect ending, this scene was so highly unrealistic it was hard for me to control my gag reflex. For those of you who have spent every Valentine’s Day watching romantic comedies and crying over the heart-shaped box of chocolates your mom sent you, I’m here to tell you those movies are a load of crap.

This continuing stereotype that when women are weak they have to call a man to come and save them is getting a little old. I would like to see a show on TV that lets the audience see what real women do when their life is in shambles.

“Girls” is supposed to be about the relationships women have with one another and how they lean upon each other for support. Guys have the shows “Entourage” and “Duck Dynasty,” which don’t ever seem to feature a man curled up in bed crying over a girl, so why can’t women be treated with the same courtesy?

The movie “Bridesmaids” taught audiences that women can be funny, sometimes gross, and that we each have bodies that may not belong in a Victoria’s Secret catalog. However, it wasn’t until “Girls” premiered on HBO April 15, 2012, that the world really got a chance to see what women look like. Produced by the same brilliant mind behind “Bridesmaids,” Judd Apatow struck a chord with female viewers once again.

Dunham’s body has been the forefront of a lot of controversy, but for as many times as a “perfect” body is shown on TV, there, on screen, is Lena letting it all hang out. She has found a way to be sexual but without going over the top. The sex scenes on “Girls” are realistic in the way that sometimes funny things happen during sex that are unexpected.

I’m looking forward to season three in the hopes that I won’t see a repeat of what happened last year in the season finale. Male audiences may not understand why women are obsessed with the show, but I would like to believe we love the show for the following reasons:

“Girls” reveals truths about ourselves that, whether we would like to admit it or not, are what we really want. We all need our parents at some point to bail us out just like Hannah does. Sometimes we do embarrassing things at parties, and our dance moves may not always be the sexiest. Finally, deep down, despite the women we have to lean on in our lives, we all secretly wish you would run to our apartment and save us. (Although doing it shirtless is completely unnecessary.)
