Similarly, we explore the recent recurrence of misogny in media, notably Bill Maher’s recent Club Random episode featuring Barbara Eden, age 94. His offhand comments—questioning her age, mocking her appearance, and suggesting she should monetize her image on OnlyFans—are emblematic of a culture that increasingly dismisses women's dignity in favor of crude humor. Eden’s grace is contrasted sharply with Maher’s gross remarks, which Kinsey describes as “disparaging,” “misogynistic,” and “insulting.”
The segment highlights how Maher’s continued inflammatory language and dismissive attitude toward women—particularly older women—undermine genuine respect and perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
