"Incels" (involuntary celibates) have enough shit to deal with. They don't need to be bullied any more of this (Signed: An Involuntary Celibate who is sick and tired of being driven into depression after depression by this issue. Men have feelings too. Men who have not gotten girlfriends need support and help, not bullying or accusations of the most vile possible things. If you think this is unreasonable, you likely need help, too. Deal with it.)

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Roger is portrayed to be the fun and campy gay friend of both Joanna and Bobbie but he constantly goes out of his way to embarrass his partner and doesn't seem to care about his feelings at all. It's already established that Joanna and Bobbie are in DesignatedHero territory but they had fairly solid relationships with their husbands.

I mean "he embarrassed me at a party" doesn't justify him brainwashing his partner. Also calling him abusive is just factually wrong.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Roger's more conservative partner is constantly embarrassed by the overly flamboyant and camp Roger. It's not by accident, either; Roger is going out of his way to embarrass his partner and make his political career a joke. When he decides to have Roger go through with the procedure, he's seen as being the bad guy but it's easy see why he was driven to said point.

* SciFiGhetto: Due to the closely related 'horror ghetto', the story is rarely referred to as horror, and discussions usually focus on the satire. This seems to be changing as of the 2020s, with it being included in discussions about horror, especially as many modern films in the genre attempt to emulate it.
* SignatureLine: "I'll just die if I don't get this recipe". It helps that Carol says it multiple times in the scene.

* TheWoobie: Charmaine is probably the biggest Woobie among the wives. Walter and Joanna seem to have some happy moments, and they've got children they both love. Bobbie and Dave too seem to have a somewhat happy marriage. Charmaine meanwhile is a trophy wife, is fully aware of it and appears to be the loneliest of the women. She's cynically aware that Ed never loved her and the only value she has to him are her looks. If she's the same age as her actress Tina Louise (41 at the time of filming) then she's bound to be anxious that her looks may start to fade soon.

She's subjected to {{Gaslighting}} from Walter and admits to her therapist that being insane would be the easier of the two possibilities - because the second is that her own husband will KillAndReplace her. She also can't just up and leave, because her children are unaccounted for.
