SyFy is turning off both male and female viewers, because (with a few exceptions), they are producing crap. I tend to be more interested in social sci-fi--I love a good dystopia or post-apocalyptic world--but what they are offering as an alternative to the hard sci-fi is not the exploration of the human condition; it's the false drama you get from soap operas. At least soaps don't pretend to be realistic. Of course in sci-fi you have to have some suspension of disbelief. But if I want Days of Our Lives in Space, I'll put on my dark glasses and make ray gun noises while I watch TV.
