I guess all men are dumb??

I won't go into plot details because I see most have been discussed at great length but I did notice all male characters are written to be sniveling/cowering idiots while basically all female characters are super beings. I would not bring it up if not for the fact that basically ALL of them (on either side) are cliched like that. Seems reductionist.... BTW, if the roles were revered, I would consider that stupid as well.

Her husband is a whiny mess, the son is almost an after thought - though finding him was the mission of the plot - and the new boyfriend is just happy to be there with very little self thought.

I don't know, it just jumped at me how marked of a dividing line in decision making they made the characters.
