Lol you can tell this show was created by women


All the dads are useless or incompetent and fall at the feet of their much more competent and flawless wives. I mean, the moms have flaws but they're hardly touched upon or examined as closely as the flaws the dads all have. I feel it's lazy writing if you feel like you have to make the male characters look stupid and incompetent to make the female characters look better, which seems to be an all too common avenue a lot of writers in Hollywood seem to take.

True but even then, he was a doormat to Charlotte a lot of the time and the dads all exhibited a lot of immaturity while the moms still came across as more competent and mature.

Uh, nearly all the writers were men.

And Didi's ludicrous child-rearing techniques/child psychologist-regurgitated psychobabble were the writers mocking Arlene Klasky.
