Why is it “misogyny” for a broadcaster to tailor its product to what it believes women prefer to see? Isn’t that like “pro-ogyny”? If preferences have changed while the broadcast has not, then that’s poor judgment (typical in a monopoly provider), still not “misogyny.”

The article seems to be the writer’s personal preference gussied up as some kind of “analysis.”

That’s called “condescension”.

It is soft sexism IOW.

And I do see it in places. Despite the carping by men that feminism is ruining everything.

They really should just present the story as it is, and let viewers decide. A male-type activity is not going to be anything else, and if women don’t like it, so what. Watering down to attract women tends to also turn off women who have more “male” tendencies, so how are they winning by wrapping it in pink bows?
