** Bob's inclusion into the story can be problematic in it's own right, since including him causes Jim to be seen as "better" by comparison, even though Jim in truth has far more insidious or subtler discriminatory views on women (such as constantly speaking over Alice despite feigning respect for women, secretly claiming to speak for women [[KnowNothingKnowItAll while not consulting or caring for the views]] of actual women, etc.) that can arguably be more damaging, but are glossed over because Bob is the more overtly misogynistic character.
