No, what really gets me is people pretending that this is sexist

...against men.

"Men are always portrayed as slobs and stupid and women are always hot and right!"

Yeah, whose fantasy do you think that's supposed to be representing? Women, don't we all want to be gorgeous, successful, and intelligent and also married to a fat, ugly, stupid slob? Just to have the intoxicating chance to always be RIGHT in the arguments? Ha ha ha that's true, it IS what all women want!

Surely the fantasy being presented is not being as slovenly and unkempt and low-league as you can get and still land a hot, successful, smart wife with zero effort except occasionally showing her a small bit of affection when your shit gets to be too much?

Oh, but since she's a shrill nag (just like all ladies want to be!) she's clearly in his league.

It's insulting to both genders, in different ways. I'd definitely agree that women get the short of the end stick more than men, though. Sitcoms with that cliche just reinforce the real life belief a lot of MRA types have that even though they're physically unimpressive losers, somewhere out there is a Victoria's Secret model who's just dying to pick their underwear off the bathroom floor, raise their kids and make nachos for their Game of Thrones marathon.

"Men are always portrayed as slobs and stupid and women are always hot and right!"

The people who say things like that are dumb, in a depressingly average kind of way.

True. Most things that pander to a specific gender are insulting to both in some way.

I'm particularly frustrated with this because I've seen the sentiment that sitcoms are some how a FEMALE fantasy said fairly often.

Yeah, that's delusional, but I've heard it as well. Mostly from idiotic MRA types who probably think that comic book heroes with pecs bigger than their heads is also a female fantasy.
