Genre's and Television

Another thing discussed in class that I want to talk about here real quick is when it was said that a Genre defined by a group of people. When that was said I couldn't stop thinking about television and more importantly distinctions between men and women. When you want to depict a male watching TV the first thing that comes to mind is ESPN, SportsCenter or and other sports television. In contrast, when you think of females you are quick to depict LifeTime, ABC Family or any soap opera on local channels. Granted these are broad (I have enjoyed some lifetimes movies myself- but I never cried I swear) but its interesting how these different "Genre's" of television are defined by a group of people. Any thoughts?
