Oh. You'd be right in that. But you're the one that brought up sexism in the first case! Perhaps it's prejudiced in itself to assume implicit evil from the choice of characters in a story? Not to mention it detracts from the central discussion, which may explain downvotes.

It seemed pretty clear to me that it was a light-hearted joke, referencing the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy[1]:

> “And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.”
