He says, \u201cMaybe because you\u2019re skinny, and maybe because you\u2019re pretty, you\u2019re so used to getting away with things.\u201d And then he proceeded to sleep with her (lol). It seems like BoJack is comfortable talking that way to women as well, along with a lot of other men in today&#8217;s world.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is a scene in a grocery store about halfway through. In this scene, a lot more women extras can be seen shopping around and checking out, while only a couple of men are seen in the entire store. I guess that\u2019s going back to traditional sex roles where women do the cooking and shopping while men work the 9-5 and make the money.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BoJack and Navy Seal Neal McBeal argue for most of the entire episode about who gets to keep the box of muffins in the grocery store. Although you may find instances of women fighting each other over shoes or dresses in stores, I feel like it is a lot more common occurrence to see men argue about random things. This debate between the two alpha-male figures got so heated, that it was broadcasted live on the news nationwide! BoJack eventually got so upset that he disregarded Neal\u2019s 10 months in active military service completely saying that Neal\u2019s being in Afghanistan was meaningless.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bechdel Test: pass or fail and why Are there at least TWO women?
