Two and a half men

In this episode (Just like Buffalo) of Two and a half men, Jake (the kid) heard his uncle Charlie say that he does need a wife when he has someone to have sex with and another to clean and shop for him. That way he does not have to give half of what he owns to his wife. Jake emulates his uncle and says this same sentiments in front of his mom and her female support group. When Alan came to pick up Jake the next day, Judith and her support group proceed to bully Alan because of their displeasure on what Jake learns when he is with his uncle Charlie. I am somewhat perturbed by this. They show Alan to be this sissy ex-husband who is allowing his ex-wife Judith and her friends to bully him. Granting that Judith has good reasons to be upset at the bad sexist influence her ex-brother in law has on her son but the bottom line is it is not Alan's fault and bullying is not the right way to do it. OK OK you say it is a sitcom but is it sending the right message? Since women have been unfairly treated by men in the western culture for centuries, is showing men being unfairly treated by women acceptable? We are suppose to strive for equality between the sexes and not the reversal of dominance. And for God's sake, Alan should get some balls and stand up to his ex-wife and her bitter friends.

I did not find the situation funny at all. I rather hate it when sitcom thinks it is funny to have domineering female bullies a timid male. That is just my take on it.
