** Special Victim's Unit seems to have a particularly strange deficiency in this area. As well as the example above, the cops who are supposed experts in this field often seem ludicriously ill informed about even the most general sexual behaviour and cultures. In one episode, several of them express incredulity over the theory cited by a colleague that a man might be gay even though he has a wife. And in another episode the idea that someone could be bi-sexual rather than straight out gay seems to be bizarrely unheard of, sparking more astonishment from the characters.

And as neither had a real grudge to fight over, that was deliberately paced at such extreme range that neither could possibly hit the other which was the point of the stunt.
* Arguably the whole point of the [[MTV]] reality show ''[[True Life]]'' is to subvert this, they visit the lives of people involved in various subcultures regularly.

** More often than not, it winds up as a double-subversion.
