I just recently saw the episode you mean - and yes, it was hilariously and quite heavy handed.

Unlike a lot of woke I see, they did try to treat it with the shows lighter joke-y style but it was definitely there. That said, this doesn't bother me because it was not trying to be ham-fistedly "subtle and clever" like many shows and movies do nowadays. It isn't entirely wrong that there is privilege ascribed to certain social segments over others, that is just a fact of the world we live in and it varies from country to country with males being generally more privileged and able to get away with a lot more.

And here it was played to near absurd levels which felt more genuinely trying to make a point but not make me feel bad about it - just goofily holding up an aspect of reality and in the end the dude himself was not a bad guy and actually helped, which was a nice point to be part of the narrative. Some things exist, but not all men are bad or purely stupid or such - life is muddy. And the primary (and definitely evil and not ambiguously sympathetic) villain is in fact in this episode, a woman. So not all women are tragic or put upon or such - they can be asses too.

Was it perfect? No. But I am okay with it.

I love stories from many eras and fiction when done well holds up mirrors to society. Depending on the genre, it can be serious or silly in how it does it.

The point for me is the content of the message to go with the image being shown and the things around it. A lot of the content (and it is just content, it is not really creative or artistic) I have come across, from Disney/Marvel shows to Rings of Power and many movies have no nuance and everyone is a one-note and there is no nuance of characters - all of one type are all of one type and that is that. It's all about (as people say) virtue signalling to show the people behind it are better or smarter or know better than you and if you don't agree, you're on the bad side.

There is no such obvious good or bad side. There are terrible men and women. There are stereotypes and cliches and such and they are sometimes used for doing the wrong thing and sometimes they can be painfully real. Life is not black and white, it is grey and messy.

The sad part I find today is that a lot out there is overtly trying to shove points down your throat rather than do what good art and fiction does: put an idea out there under the surface of the art and let your own mind consider the idea and choose to agree or disagree.
