I quite agree. Which is why I find it so interesting that so much of modern entertainment puts forward the notion that it’s a wife’s duty to make sure her husband knows she holds him in mild contempt.

Exactly! Most modern sit-coms are built on the premise that the husband is an utter bumbling, boob who usually accidentally stumbles upon the right answer or, more often than not, the wife had to "guide" him to it!

I think it is the idea that this is NOT reality that makes people laugh, but I don't know. This is a really good question though!

Yes, it gives the impression that somebody WANTS male/female relationships to do badly. It would give a bigger pool of women-fed-up-with-men for the lesbians to exploit.
