She's a bit behind the times IMO, the TV shows quoted are years old,she should take a look at Modern Family. On Strictly the female dancers are continually praised about their bodies and how they use them. So far as adverts go, if people don't like the advert, they will ignore it or if they really dislike the advert, it will put them off buying the product.
There are several threads running through online discussions that suggest that misandry is, at least, present in the debate about feminism/ equality. I think it's mainly just a minority of rather loud voices, rather than anything particularly serious. I've never felt belittled because of my gender. I expect most men would say the same.
I think British women are becoming gradually more domineering. Many confuse Assertion with Aggression and feel they have to be 'laddish' before anyone will take much notice of them. What they fail to understand is that women have, for centuries, been getting their own way by using feminine rather than feminist ways. I've seem many examples of aggression and sexual harassment in the work place from women aimed at men. I'm convinced women make the most hideous bosses wavering from your 'best friend' to your 'worst enemy' depending on the time of month. Some men are quite lazy and quite willing to be bossed around for a quiet life. maybe some women think its payback time for years of being , in their opinion, regarded as second class citizens. I think its ugly to see a woman publicly belittle a man, or visa verso for that matter.
I think the writer is taking light-hearted comedies and female-lead-based drama series and reading far too much into them.
As advised, Friends is a particuarly bad example because - as is the norm with comedy - none of the characters are either 'rounded' or 'grounded' - the provide levels of wit that would ocur maybe once a week in real life, if you were lucky, not every twenty seconds from everyone who speaks, whic is how sit-coms work.
Similarly, the dramatic set-ups of series like Scott & Bailey are light-years away from anything remotely approaching real police situations, which may be realistic, but would make for terminally boring television.
You might as well say that people should keep well away from Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote because week in week out, someone she knows dies violently. The reality would watching a little old lady pounding word processor for eight hours a day - accurate, but not exactly a ratings hit.
This piece is the opinion of someone who is inventing a premise and then twisting facts and perceptions to fit it.
To be ignored.

On a more serious note it is much worse than first thought.
