Without getting into the sexist implications of the example, it's also bad because it's speculating about the motivation behind an Audience Reaction rather than the actual work itself. You can definitely remove it.

Remove it, it definitely sounds like an agenda-based entry.

Thank you!
I cut up one dozen new men and you will die somewhat, again and again.

I realise this is super old, before 2013, but is it okay to remove this?
Women only find this play offensive because it exposes the Unfortunate Implications of the most popular female romantic fantasy by Gender Flipping it. What does Petruchio find sexy? Not a humble, submissive, quiet, obedient Proper Lady but a project — someone he can "tame," change, fix, and cure of her evil habits! Sure, she acts like a bossy, hot-tempered shrew to everyone else, but she treats him completely differently, and that means he's special and better than other men! What, ladies, how could you find this offensive? All Girls Want Bad Boys because it's gratifying to change them, and Petruchio's and Kate's victory as the happiest/best couple at the close of the play teaches the moral: "All men should want shrews because it's fun to tame them."
It feels like using a WMG to defend a play in a sexist kinda way?
