History Headscratchers / MarriedWithChildren

** Marcy doesn't hate men so much as she wants to dominate and boss them around. If there's one thing Steve and Jefferson had in common, it's that they were both {{Henpecked Husband}}s. (Insert your own chicken joke here.) This is one of the areas where she and Al are NotSoDifferent. While he wants men to be the dominant gender, she wants women to be dominant. Not to mention that Jefferson basically was a glorified gigolo, to the point that Marcy outright called him a [[TrophyWife Trophy Husband.]] One of the {{Running Gag}}s was how Marcy would always want Jefferson to get a job, but then force him to quit whenever he actually got one, since he always got attention from other women.

* What if we're taking the statements about how much Al makes too literally? Its a running joke that he makes minimum wage, but there are frequent mentions of of commission. If he makes minimum wage + commission you could still say "he only makes minimum wage" as a joke and be technically correct. All the rest of the Bundy's money-troubles are still easily explained away by them being horrible with money.

For someone who seems to love sex so much and has a...variety of kinks and a more then healthy sexual apatite, Marcy sure seems to hate men in general. Marcy seems like she would be happier paying gigolos versus actually being married and with a man.

** ** Marcy didn't really regress, just more of her more negative traits came to the surface. Marcy was always this misandrist and hypocritical person, as could be seen in the first episodes. Like when she said that she and Steve agreed to not watch sports like football because they barbaric. No, she thought sports were barbaric and Steve just went along with it. The same with smut, and porn. Yet and still, she has a lot of sexual kinks and fantasies. So she's always been shown to be against typical "man" stuff. And from her perspective, Al is THE most typical, lowest common denominator man there is.

** For all we know, Al ''stole'' the beer. He, Bud and Kelly have all been showing stealing food from other people. When he did buy it, he probably went to a liquor store rather than a grocery store that also sold booze.

[[folder: *Why Didn't Al Buy the Food Himself?]] We are shown many times that Peg uses the money that Al gives her to buy food on herself. So why does Al still trust her with any money? Why doesn't Al just go to the store and buy the food himself? He always seems to have beer in the frig, and I doubt Peg went all the way to the store just to buy him beer, meaning that Al probably stopped somewhere himself to buy it. Why not just buy food while he's there?
