Sitting in a circle, he tells the guys, “I’ve been saying to ladies on the street, ‘Are you a doctor?’ … Just so that there’s not a feeling \[that\] only men can be doctors.” As one member of the group gets a little too slaphappy with an air horn, Armisen’s character tries to inspire the men, reminding them, “Our job, guys, fellas, people, is to solve feminism.” Right. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3712565/portlandia-all-male-feminist-support-group-by-fred-armisen/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3712565/portlandia-all-male-feminist-support-group-by-fred-armisen/"},"headline":"This Is the Perfect Parody of Male Feminists","datePublished":"2015-02-17T22:18:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:16:57.034Z","description":"Fred Armisen leads a support group on the next episode of IFC's Portlandia","url":"https://time.com/3712565/portlandia-all-male-feminist-support-group-by-fred-armisen/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
