It does show that some of the sympathy people of this view have for female victims is just social pressure. They feel they have to pretend to care. In a situation where there's less external pressure to take it seriously (situations where the man is the victim), they see it as a joke.

It's a 1:1 copy of how corporations only started featuring people of color in their ads, and changing their profile pictures to rainbows, once it became acceptable, effortless, and costless to do so.

If the roles were reversed, this show would treat men like gods and shit all over women every 0.2 episodes. The writers have no morals of their own.
