Season 5, episode 16: “TGS Hates Women”

In an episode that feels especially relevant in today's climate, Liz tackles sexism after feminist website joanofsnark.com (Tagline: "Perhaps correct. Definitely exhausting") publishes an article with the headline "Why does TGS hate women?" In response, Liz exclaims "I support women. I'm a human bra" and hires a young female comic as a guest writer. The woman who shows up turns out to be every female stereotype Liz is trying to avoid — blond, scantily clad, with an air of damsel in distress, essentially "a very sexy baby." Liz goes on to oust the comic's true identity in front of the writers' room and online, only to find out she's made a possibly fatal mistake and inadvertently proved that TGS maybe does hate women after all.
