It was really bad episode, deserves 2 or 3 but that guy singing Tic Tac song made my day so I had raise mark.

Before i start i need clarify that i did not see the ending. I'm not sure if it was pressure from netflix to make this episode more progressive or relatable but either way this is the worst episode of the series. Blatant sexism towards men, from start to finish the "host" makes jokes about women being better then men. Which is fine as it is a joke and meant to mean nothing. What threw me off was when they introduced the professor of gender studies. Nearly everything she said was hateful towards men ( I'm aware it was edited this way aswell) even the other female host picked up on her sneaky way of trying to say women are better. The entire series can be narrowed down to the conclusion that everyone is different, age, gender or ethnicity. Saying that men and better than women or the opposite or as of the second episode, younger people are smarter is just not true. If they got 100 new guests on the show and did the exact same test, it would not be in anyway the same. To clarify, what I am saying is that it doesn't matter what is different about you, your gender, "looks" and age do not determine accurately what they are trying to convey.
Reasoning is genuinely wrong

I watched the first two episodes with at least some enjoyment. When they did the experiment "who takes longer to get ready", it really should have been who's more on time (we all know woman take longer to get ready). Then the female with her gender studies saying "it's just because women are better" DUH. Following up with an insight into how female hormones are so great and male hormones are toxic and dumb. This is where I had to turn it off. I'm getting tired of Netflix and their social justice shows.
Poorly Done

Complete Garbage

Should have been a tie.

Why did women get a point for being the most vain? Seems like men should have won that category for being less judgmental. Sexist episode and really lame after the first two. The redhead was really annoying too, stating testosterone was basically not important at all and only had cons. Sad display at trying to be too progressive.
Harmful programming

Bad science. Let's solve a question about humanity by running an experiment which bears no relevance to the actual question!

If you're going to do a so-called "scientific experiment" to determine whether it's true that women take longer than men to get ready, then maybe you should actually design an experiment in which you observe women and men GETTING READY. Perhaps tell them that they're going to the opera, or a speed-dating round, or a restaurant with a dress code. Something that encourages them to, you know, GET READY - instead of giving them a few minutes to board a bus, which is effectively an exercise in how punctual they are. Well, that's a different question altogether, isn't it?
This experiment purposefully avoided the actual stereotype, which everyone knows revolves around the concept that women supposedly take longer to get ready, due to their preference for (and/or the social pressures of) wearing make-up and managing longer hair, matching a well coordinated outfit, shoes and purses, etc. Men are stereotypically more lazy about getting ready and will slap something quick together if they can get away with it.
What makes people think this? Marriage. Relationships. Men who lazily throw themselves together in less than five minutes while the women in their lives make more of an effort. Have you ever seen the Oscars? Men come out in plain black suits, one after the other. Boring. Women get dazzled up. Now, of course this stereotype doesn't apply to everyone on Earth, and some people will take longer regardless of their gender. But using the results of a tardiness experiment to determine which sex "takes longer to get ready" is like using bagels to determine which donut people like the most. Any moron off the street could have told you that men would be more inclined to miss the bus if you put a food stand between them and the curb. That's not science. It's a skewed manipulation.
Who said that women are constantly late? I've never heard that! What's implied in the known stereotype - and what's admitted by the gender studies expert - is that women are more inclined to feel pressured that they have to do MORE to get ready. So, in turn, they do more to be appealing and meet the standard that's been put upon them by the media and society. By that rationale, it wouldn't be hard to believe that a woman would start getting ready at 7:00 to do her hair and her makeup and be out the door by 8:00. A man might start at 7:30 or 7:45, slap some gel in his hair, and also be out by 8:00. They'd both leave on time, and neither would be tardy, but the woman would certainly have taken longer. And that's not necessary a bad thing.
Also, let's not forget that there were times when women had to be stitched into corsets and multi-layer petticoats before being hooped into a dress. Was any consideration given to to WHEN these stereotypes originated? BAD SCIENCE.
Had these 100 humans been given an option to change and primp and actually "get ready", we might have gotten an answer to the question. Instead, we learned that men will linger aimlessly around a table for a chance at food. Congratulations! ...said no-one who's ever known a man on Planet Earth.

Breathtakingly sexist

The first episode was pretty fun, but each episode has gotten successively worse. The level of misandry in this episode is breathtaking.
The hosts and their 'experts' literally said, repeatedly, and I quote, "Women are superior to men in every way", "Men are all evil sociopaths", and "Hormones make women goddesses but makes men all violent and stupid".
To, again quote, "scientifically prove that women are better", they conducted nonsensical unscientific experiments and then lied about the results.
For example, to prove that women are smarter, they asked women questions about themselves (eg. When did you go to bed last night, what what as your first car) and then asked men trivia questions (eg. Which presidents are on Mt Rushmore, name X cities in this state, whose face is on X coin), because that's totally a fair comparison when women get more correct?
To prove that people are sexist against female comedians, they had people tell the "same" joke and rate the audience reaction, when in reality the jokes were recounted totally different (eg. The woman said she shot her friend with a shotgun, and that was the entire joke, whereas the man told the joke properly from the perspective of the 911 responder).
In the experiment to gauge how superficial they were, women consistently rated others more superficially on appearance, whereas men didn't seem to differ much. Somehow, according to the hosts, this proved that men were the superficial ones.
In experiments where women got 2 points higher, this "statistically proved" that women were better, whereas in experiments where men got 3 points higher, this was "not statistically significant and means it was a tie." Any time the hosts even vaguely conceded that women did worse in one of these (totally unscientific and nonsensical) experiments, they had their expert chime in that it was because we're so oppressed that we have no choice but to conform to societal expectations of being worse.
How is this sexist garbage something that was actually approved? Can you imagine if there was a Netflix show about "scientifically proving" that "Men are superior to women because women are all stupid evil sociopaths"? Holy moly.

Biased results and super cringe, practically men suck for 40 minutes
turtlehuman10 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
When the score was 125, and 130, they gave the point to the men in the talking round which is correct because 125 is less than 130. But all of a sudden when the woman lost the comedy show with 5 rating for the woman and 5.3 for the men they said the results were close and considered it a tie. This is an experiment you have to stay consistent if you are rounding. The results were not even that close, 106 percent different between 5 and 5.3 compared to 104 percent difference between 125 and 130. Why can't a show stay consistent, is it because if they show the woman losing then the will dislike the show more and make a bigger deal out of itI If so why even make an episode about the battle of the sexes. Horrible show, worst show on netflix.
