"Sexes", my dear ... Men and women have "sex". Nouns and adjectives have "gender". < /pedant >
That said, popular culture is poisonous. It would have us at each others' throats, constantly, and not without effect. I've seen real life examples that make the TV-stereotype "Mom is a bitch, Dad is a moron, Kids are mouthy brats" look mild. And they think they're normal.
And it plays out here too.
