The main romance is not about politics, but the show repeatedly makes gender and sexuality part of the side cast. Megan's relationships with women recur across seasons and include a girlfriend and queer romantic scenes. Ashley's sexual freedom and rejection of old female stereotypes shape her character. WAWAM turns the clash between feminism and men's-rights ideas into recurring comedy.

Lynelle and Lee build WAWAM as a men's rights group that says men are under siege and women have dethroned them. The show makes the group look foolish through a fundraiser, slogans, songs, and arguments about online outrage. The story also mocks Lee for blaming women after he loses his job because of an online affair with a student. Season 3 keeps WAWAM in the family story.

One tiny X account called the season 2 lesbian-affair subplot “filth,” and another joked that a woman got a job as a diversity hire. Other small right-leaning accounts recommended the show because it was “not even a bit woke.” No boycott, review-bombing push, or large anti-woke news campaign appeared. The backlash evidence is real but very small.

Harriet Dyer's wider work often covers mental health, trauma, neurodiversity, and better screen representation. Dyer has called herself and Brammall extremely liberal in a title interview, while Brammall has no strong activist public record. Moore and most producers have low or modest stored scores and mainly commercial television records. Dyer is the main creator-context signal.
