CBC Book Reviews and Sexism

I don't mean to be continually writing about sexism, but it's something that really incites me.

Okay, so we remember that I listen to CBC radio often in the morning. They have a woman guest who comes on once a week and reviews a book, that she read during the past week.
This morning she reviewed this book:

It's a collection of short stories, written in the 80s, by a woman who died of cancer in 89.
All right.
The presenter talks about this book as "ridiculous, 80s, big-shoulder-pads stuff". What does she mean?
Each story is focused on the life of a woman, or a few women. And the male characters are on the periphery, flat characters, general antagonists.
"That's almost like reverse misogyny!" says the regular radio host.

Wait. Wait. Several short stories where men are in the periphery, because the stories aren't about the men, but are about the women and suddenly we're feminazis?
After centuries of domination of men in literature, with female periphery characters.
The host and presenter talked about this book as "behind the times". What is this? NO.
Men are not always to be seen as flat people, but male characters can be on the periphery, can be flat. There are some flat characters in every book.

Stop doing this book a 'favour' by proclaiming it an outdated frenzied 80s-fueled statement of women's domination over everything. If you read the stories, you'll see that it's more about women dealing with their problems.
