They literally think women are cartoon characters that just go around getting knocked up and doing abortions for funsies, because if her hair isn't natural or she has a tattoo she's instantly a satanic harlot.
That's a good way to put it. They literally don't view women as human, as other humans with internal lives greater or equal to their own. They never have, at least since settled civilization got going. Not only are we subhuman to them, but we're dangerous. Our thoughts and feelings and actions and self-expression is dangerous and must be rigidly controlled or, somehow, society collapses.

Last sunday I did a Red-Dwarf-while-high rewatch marathon, and was pleasantly suprised by how well S2E6 aged. Lister calling Rimmer out for not understanding your exact point was nice to see again.
It's a really fun ride! The humour can be a bit crude at times but it's aged surprisingly well. I recommend just going in blind. This is the kind of show where continuity is just a suggestion to be cheerfully jettisoned if it gets in the way of a good joke.
Some people say it doesn't get good until season 3 with the permanent addition of a new cast member, but I think the first two seasons were also great in their own way. It's funny throughout. There's just a lot of changes throughout regarding character dynamics that keeps the humour fresh. It's not the same people doing the same things for years on end.
I know a lot of fans hate the big setting changes that happen in the first episodes of series 6 and 8, and how largely they changed Kochanski's character.
I think main-cast changes are vital in a long-running comedy show. New character dynamics are new opportunities for jokes and plotlines. Otherwise you get The Simpsons: stale, stagnant, predictable.

I have somehow never heard of this show but I'm probably gonna check it out soon, ty!
