I was reading the Visual Guide to SG1 that one of my friends kindly bought me for xmas. It's a nice book and a lovely keepsake of the series.
There are two pages for each of the 'big four' original SG1 and each page has boxes with different aspects of their life, or memorable incidents highlighted, for example, Daniel and ascension and Daniel and Shar'e. Jack and Thor and Jack and his family. Only Sam had a box entitled 'Relationships'. The three men on the team have had as many relationships as her, possibly more but was there a box called 'relationships' for any of them? No.
There was specific mention of spouses and the like but no listings of the various women they have been shown with. Why are Sam's relationships noteworthy when theirs aren't? Why should they be considered differently to her, what makes people still define a woman by who she is going out with in a way they wouldn't even consider with a man? Why are some couples still formally addessed as 'Mr and Mrs John Smith'?
