Dating show promotes openly sexist dude, and like, read the damn room

If you lived under a rock during 2017 (can I come too?), it was a year in which various sexual harassers were outed for being awful.

It was a year that the conversation around harassment, power and abuse started to be taken seriously, but it seems like Australian television station Channel Nine -- who had its own problems recently, missed the memo.

In a commercial for its upcoming season of Married at First Sight, it featured Dean, a man looking for a woman who will listen to him, and openly wants to be the "man in charge" in the household.

"It's hard to say without sounding sexist or something, but I like a girl that is a girl, and she's girly and that she knows I'm the man in charge," he said.

"Also I want someone that listens to me, and I wanna be the alpha male and she needs to respect me as the man."

For those unfamiliar with the show, Married at First Sight matches up couples with the aid of experts, who commit when they first meet.

Not that it matters anymore, because there were plenty of messages angry about the commercial.
