I don't think I've seen that one. It seems like it would be an interesting watch, though.
You know, growing up, I always knew it was just a silly TV trope that the Dad in any film or show was always the bumbling incompetent idiot with a "heart of gold."
It was most prevalent in commercials — and that made sense. The marketing for household cleaning crap and what not where it mostly appeared was targeted towards women.
Likewise, the women were always the smart competent ones of the family. This goes back as far as I can even remember, honestly. When you think about it, it's not too hard to see why so many young men grow up with self-depreciating attitudes that puts women on a pedestal when all over consumer entertainment does just that in every facet of society.
That's what makes it so insane that they have to intrude upon genres and mediums dominated by men to destroy the realistically few positive male influences left. Hell, even in those, while the man may be more competent, women are still typically placed on a pedestal — even if they are the "damsel" in some cases.
Personally, men and women complement each other. Where one has a weakness the other has a strength.
Trying to make other gender be the same, or saying one better than the other in everything is just causing a lot of issues.
I wholeheartedly agree with you there on the TV shows. Lack of positive role models on the entertainment we watch that mirrors our reality has definitely affected us negatively.
