I'm all for TV shows trying to spread messages, and am fine when they have agendas. However this episode, about women's rights and gender equality, was almost insulting. It panders to the lowest-common denominator, using disproven or just plain unfactual narratives about the Feminist movement. But the biggest crime of all is the episode isn't funny. Jokes are lazily handled or can be seen coming a mile away, which likely is due to the writers being more concerned spreading their agenda than being funny.
Shows like Black-ish are able to walk the political and social line with brilliant ease, offering commentary on topics without being biased or sacrificing humor. Modern Family used to be able to do that, but now I'm not so sure.
