      meddlesome and quarrelsome

      citadels of gynecocracy

      Holy shit, my sides. Stewie Griffin was supposed to talk the way he did for reasons of comedy. It wasn’t supposed to be satire of anything.

        IIRC his voice was modelled after Rex Harrison; specifically his role in My Fair Lady as Henry Higgins. Not quite satire; but both the actor and the character were fairly misogynistic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          My Fair Lady

          Which is a movie from the quite-misogenystic-1960’s, made after a musical from the more-misogenystic-1950, after the even-more-misogenystic 1930’s movie after the 1910’s play that I don’t know anything about, but i’m willing to make a bet…

      US universities “citadels of gynecocracy”

      Uhh… I don’t know about the stats, but universities still seem to be male dominated. Neither the premise nor conclusion makes any sense.
