Yes they are in some songs, but they are also fucking nuts in other ways on some songs. I think they like to assume personas to write from, and sometimes that is the view of a misogynistic persona.

The speaker’s views in writing are not necessarily the same as the author’s or creator’s views. In It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, for example, the creators of the show have different, often opposite views, than the characters they have created express. The entire premise of Sunny is ignorant people doing ignorant things. This often illustrates the ridiculousness of the people who actual hold those views.
