While I *can't* imagine how offensive this is to women (both cis- and transwomen), I must say it offends my intelligence and me as cismale. Surely there must be a better way to tell stories about how the (current) recession affects working and middle class cismen.
Having "poor" people living in spacious villas was rather silly in the Donald Duck comics. In The Simpsons, it was at least lampshaded and explained by mortgages. But in modern day live action TV-series, supposedly made for adults? When the protagonists are not even having a job at all? For a year? WTH?
