This movie has all the subtlety of a rhinoceros with vertigo. The plot is just explained to the audience in monologue form, which is made further unnecessary by how painfully simple it is. The male figures are reduced to little more than cavemen flailing their dicks about in an extremely reductionist version of "toxic masculinity" (you'll hear that phrase over and over from anyone who actually enjoyed it). The women are, of course, intelligent and empathetic victims who are just trying to make it in a man's world. It's a 2 hour episode of Ally McBeal with worse dialogue.
To satirize society, you have to include some actual version of society to satirize. This is nothing more than a caricature. A crudely drawn straw-man that is invented and then attacked in the same breath. You can save your money and just ask a 15 year old girl what she thinks about the patriarchy. You might actually get a gram of nuance that way.
