I'm re-watching Cheers at the moment. If it came out now it would be considered deeply misogynistic and racist. The main thing that Cheers highlights for me is how we went wrong along the way. Dianne, the annoying, liberal, feminist; who's constantly wrong about her opinions, yet never learns from them, is a figure of mockery for everyone in the bar. Not one person takes her seriously, she's constantly ridiculed. Somewhere between now and then people decide to take the Dianne's of the world seriously, and gave them power, leading to society producing many women like her. That decision is one of the many reasons that we are where we are, and that is something which must be remembered is we ever manage to reverse the situation, as it is a mistake that should not be repeated.
