Is the goal of this sitcom to make the viewer hate women?

To show off a large pair of talents

So I've been watching this recently for the first time since childhood (I don't live in the US and it doesn't really get shown on tv here anymore - wonder why that is though I have my suspicions considering it's such a huge show and garbage like Friends gets replayed all the time), and it hits much different now.

First of all - Kelly is SMOL when she's younger, like she's a waif. I guess I was younger than her, so her and Bud both looked like big people to me. I kind of want to hug her. In line with this, Al is much more irresponsible than I remember, like he openly insults his kids and wife. It's all fun, and he does show how he actually cares about them a lot, it's the whole joke, but he still says like he wishes he never had them. They could have changed that a little sometimes and still had essentially the same show.

Next, I was surprised by how clever many of the lines are. I always had it in my mind that it it was lowbrow obvious humour, and that's true for a lot of the time. But there is some really genuine genius in there sometimes.

As the seasons went by and the kids grew up, everything grew more and more sexual and scandalous and debauchery, that was a huge deal to me when I was a kid growing up in a traditional household where parents were often watching as well, and I figured later on it was the common theme of a show "jumping the shark" a little and having to be more outrageous to keep viewers. While that happened a little, it also was a natural development and it worked - Kelly now had tits and ass, Bud was getting to adult age, and apart from the catcalling of Kelly - who was as far as we knew underage at the time - was all fairly tame. Jefferson was also a genius addition to spice things up a bit, apparently it came about by accident when the actor playing Steve wanted to do other things.

Another thing that struck me is shaming of shoe sales people and poor people in general, was a bit off I thought at times.

Rare show that gets better by the season imo. The early toned down episodes are great but i equally love the over the top insane later episodes like the Bundy curse in England or the episodes where they install the dish on the roof. The show is also the only show to have a new character be added and have it improve almost , the actor playing Steve was right, his character would hold the show back and Jefferson was perfect for the second half of the series. Also all of Als No Maam friends are great. The show is also genius in that its both super stupid but really clever at the same time.

My wife has the same type as Peggy and loves to be compared with her.

The audience already hated women.
That show was a group celebration of everyone's fatigue of women.
