I'm a man, and I was honestly surprised anyone disliked the episode. The episode is objectively hilarious, from Tony and Loudermilk's insults, to the counselor's exasperation. The dude into pegging was a hilarious satire of dudes on the other side. While some of the dialogue was over the top, Mugsy's growth seemed real and organic. People who don't believe that should remember that Mugsy didn't even want to meet his kids in the first place, then changed. Then he didn't want to call his kids, then changed. It's easy to see how upsetting his daughter could cause him to see things from her point of view. People need to feel impacted before they can care about an issue. The fact that Tony and Ed don't change was very realistic. The only thing they got wrong was that the lady committed battery, not (just) assault.
Only 9/10 because the job offers were too laughably sexist to exist in real life and Mugsy's initial reaction was pretty dumb, too. Though, after reading other reviews, I suppose that cartoonishly sexist people might really exist.
