Master of None - Aziz Ansari - Ladies and Gentlemen episode

Is anyone watching this on Netflix? Absolutely loving this. Last night I watched the episode Ladies and Gentlemen and it is possibly the best depiction of the daily sexism women face that I have ever seen - and funny as hell too.

It touched on not only the "nice guy" and the "creepy guy" and masturbating on the subway but also the way in which some men get the overt sexism but don't get or totally dismiss subtler forms of sexism.

The linked review spoils the entire episode so don't read it if you plan to watch - which I highly recommend.

Anyways enjoy - the show/topics/characters are wonderful.
