So sexist and backward it's painful

Warning: Spoilers
This episode is one long push back at The Woman's Movement of the late sixties. Sadly, the message to young girls, who watched the show back in the day, was simple: Only kooks and criminals want to place women in leadership roles. And it promoted the lie that the women's movement, at its core, was filled with nothing but men haters. One egregious example: as soon as Ms. Clavicle and her evil team take over Gotham, they oust all men from their jobs. But once the newly anointed women take over they simply can't get past their "natural tendencies." For example, the female police allow a bank robbery to take place because they are too preoccupied with trading recipes, and gabbing about sales at their local department stores. It's really painful to watch. It had a horrible message for its young audience. And it's unbearable to watch today. Plus all the female "criminals" (with the exception of their leader Ms. Clavicle) dress to suit a male fantasy-short skirts and large breasts are very much on display.
