The BS meme of bungling white male and hypercompetent female (usually a POC) has been ongoing for 50 years. It's the primary reason I discontinued watching TV in the mid 80s. The movie industry has embraced this Bs for the last 25 years. I find one or two movies per year that aren't steeped in this stupidity.

Well said and true. Consider “married with children,” a pathetic sitcom where the father must put with interminable insults and take it like a “man,” never once attempting to dignify his manhood.
Commercials are the same way—the man is the dunce yet why a buffoonish dunce is married to an adorable female is never explained.

Please share with me/us your list of favorite movies. I’m always looking for decent recommendations. :)

It’s video games too. The ugly butch “Girl Boss” crap has been like a cancer. The players have finally rebelled and it has cost the developers millions in losses but they have been stubborn they keep churning them out. I think we may see it turn around as the layoffs have started.
