Murdoch Mysteries continues its crazy feminist science storyline in murdoch-schmurdoch

Sometimes masculinity is explored separately in Murdoch Mysteries like when Bat Masterson pretended to be hunting famous outlaws in Glory Days; when Brackenreid wanted to revive his military career and in most of the Spy vs Spy episodes with Terrence Myers becoming more of a flawed middle aged man than a caricature. James Pendrick is becoming more like James Bond with him hiring more exotic women as scientists to help him with his inventions, and seeming to care less about his inventions as he ages. murdoch-schmurdoch does gender roles for both genders. Bobby Brackenreid plays the "sweet" young man who tries to ask a bad singer out after consulting with some of the older men in the office about it. His Dad tells him "lady of the theatre, excellent choice."... "She is older than you though... experience is a great attribute especially in a woman." So Daddy Brackenreid apparently thinks of "the lady of the theatre" [I don't remember him calling the opera singer that] in one dimension - as experience for his son. In a parallel sub plot, Marilyn Clark [crazy man-hating feminist scientist] reduces Murdoch to one attribute. She comes into the morgue carrying a young male rabbit which a previously infertile doe had produced after receiving the hormone treatment that Dr. Ogden also took to become pregnant. Murdoch tells Miss Clarke "we are most grateful to you". Marilyn brushes him off stating that it is only the work that is important. Murdoch continues "as a potential father, I can't help but tell you..." Miss Clark interupts him and says "if a baby is born, you will merely have been its donor", and she walks away. Julia laughs and reassures Murdoch.
