Wow. “Politically Incorrect?” That’s the takeaway from my movie & the discussion it sparked? Man, I really loved this show. This is sad.

The Simpsons have taken unneeded potshots at feminists over the years; especially in the mid 2000s when the show was beginning its slow decline. simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/She_Used_ simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Girls_Jus
