>Later on there was a ton of weird anti-feminist content in the comics

Others provide convincing demonstrations of what Adams himself said about women so this is more of a tangent....

But good god that was well within the era of "I hate my wife" comedy being rampant. I will never understand fellow men who seem to think "Women suck" or "The person I married is garbage" as the pinnacle of humor.

It's just not funny.

Yeah every once in awhile I’ll catch an old comedy special and it’s almost jarring how much of the content from some comics was “my wife is awful and she’s really dumb for expecting things from me”.

Neighbors of a certain age have that same mindset.. “Want to come over for a drink and get away from the ball and chain?” Or “After your done with the lawn, would your wife let you come over for a drink?”

I mean I wouldn’t mind grabbing a beer but your view of relationships is exceptionally weird.
