Doctor Brown Bear is a positive male role model, TFA notwithstanding. As is Granddad Dog, IMO. And there are other workers who are less of the exploited proletariat than Miss Rabbit - Daddy Pig works as some kind of architect/structural engineer, Madam Gazelle runs the playgroup and so on. But yes, its class relations in particular is dodgy.

Not as bad as Thomas the Tank Engine, though. Don't get me started on that.

Thomas the Tank Engine is terrifying. Its the protestant work ethic turned into a totalitarian regime led by the The Fat Controller. You're either a Really Useful Engine or you're going to the scrapheap, so you'd better hope you don't get on the Controller's bad side.
