sweet quads bro. i get what you're saying but, the words that came out of her mouth were from the writers/showrunners. the whole concept of the show was basically making sense of their own suburban upbringing dealing with the weird shame of not measuring up to other families, shit like that, so you have to forgive that desire to want to make it seem like there was some driving force behind it, so of course Lois ends up the mouthpiece for that. going cynical w/ it, maybe part of the point was to paint her similarly to how her mother behaves, and suggest she'd only become more like her mother as malcolm ages, who knows. regardless, Lois is maybe the best female character in any show i've ever seen in terms of being very developed/complicated and it's fun to talk about her.
