Radical feminists have an innate ability to find fault with anything they can potentially attack as “sexist” or “misogynistic,” and their most recent target was the wildly popular sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.”
The show, which revolves around the everyday lives of scientists and their geeky shenanigans, has been attacked by “feminist ally” Jonathan McIntosh as the “perfect embodiment” of “the adorkable misogynist.”
“Adorkable misogynists are male characters whose geeky version of masculinity is framed as both comically pathetic and endearing,” McIntosh said about the sitcom in a YouTube video. “And it’s their status as nerdy nice guys that then lets them off the hook for a wide range of creepy, entitled, and downright sexist behaviors.”

In particular, the feminist accused the characters of promoting “harassing, entitled, and sexist behavior where women are concerned.”
“They consistently stalk, spy on, lie to, and try to manipulate the women in their lives,” he argued. “They’re overbearing, they refuse to take ‘no’ for an answer, and they often ignore the basic tenets of consent.”
No, the characters on the popular sitcom are not perfect, but that’s what makes the show relatable to so many people of every gender, race and political persuasion. In fact, the characters were written to purposely poke fun at the typical Hollywood stereotype about “geeks” and “nerds.”

McIntosh, however, indicated that the show wasn’t simply a humorous outlet, but rather kept its audience “sympathetic to men who behave in such reprehensible ways.”
He then goes on to slam the show for making fun of men who are not “traditionally masculine” — so, now the men who were “sexist” and “misogynistic” are now apparently the victims in this scenario.
The show’s message, he argued, was “sexism is mostly harmless – and especially when that sexism is coming from geeky guys.”
The Mary Sue’s Marykate Jasper took that argument a step further, saying the show promoted behavior that allows men to “push women out of politics, out of certain industries, and off of social media platforms.”

But, this wasn’t the first time feminists came out in full force against a character on the show — except in 2015 it was the female lead who was their target.
In a Redbook magazine interview, Kaley Cuoco explained why she doesn’t consider herself a “feminist.”
“It’s not really something I think about. Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around… I was never that feminist girl demanding equality,” she said.
Of course, being a female and not being a feminist is the ultimate sin in the eyes of feminists, so they wasted no time attacking her.
That’s because radical feminists aren’t really interested in solving the problems they perceive in our society, but rather are more concerned with making up problems that aren’t really there and forcing everyone to agree with them.
