He and his friends in the old WDF guard occasionally get called out for what some of their detractors describe as culturally stranding the galaxy on late-20th-century Earth. (Mainly because I and the other writers here have occasionally been called out for culturally stranding the UF universe on late-20th-century Earth. :)
In this instance, though, that problem does not necessarily apply directly (TO THE FOREHEAD I'm very sorry), since it's doubtful that G has managed to impress his specific taste in women on the entire humanoid population of the galaxy. :)
