Old man’s war by John Scalzi
Just finished season 2 of The Lazarus Project. Great series and plenty of time crossings to keep you thinking about the character journeys (who's where and when!).
It wasn't the best show, but Sliders had an episode where they visited a time continuum of earth where women ran everything and men were meek and subservient. The episode highlighted what it would be like if there were sexualized expectations for men's clothes, if workplace harassment of men were normalized and was excruciatingly accurate in it. For a show 30 years ago that I watched probably 3 episodes of, it's still stuck in my head because of how far ahead of the TV curve it was with subject matter and writing.
