It’s amazing how sexism was so baked into the culture I couldn’t even recognize it. I always thought M*A*S*H was hilarious but as it turns out that humor was 99% at the altar of sexism.

Thank you, Stephen. The misogyny shown in MASH the movie and TV series, in Cuckoo’s Nest, and other productions from that era always seemed obvious and repugnant to me. Yet even today, some supposedly lefty blogs share and celebrate them anyway. You’ve nailed it beautifully.
