That doesn’t mean women are being well-served when television turns its attention to their gender. They’re not. But when you see the four men on How To Be A Gentleman — Kevin Dillon as the meathead, David Hornsby as the nice weakling, Rhys Darby as the dopey husband of Hornsby’s sister, and an utterly out-of-place Dave Foley as the buffoonish boss who can’t age gracefully — it really begins to look like men are the new women, when it comes to being mercilessly pigeonholed and mocked for failing to represent an impossible ideal of perfect behavior and perfect looks.
