This is an okay article. But it attempts to set the character Larry David apart from the writer Larry David as if the character could possibly be more feminist than the writer, true it’s not just Larry that writes Curb so it’s possible there’s someone else pulling the strings but what I really like about the Larry David character is that he isn’t written in a way that sucks up to men and tries to curry their favour. No laddish in-jokes are added or stereotypes or myths perpetuated for cheap laughs (this is precisely the reason I could not continue watching it’s always sunny in Philidelphia) and when the characters do act in a sexist way they are often punished, this means the writers, incl. Larry David IRL actively avoid these traps by making Larry unbiased and pally with women. He is a fool but is not foolishly sexist, I hate the ‘foolishly sexist’ characters who supposedly are sexist because they can’t help it (cos it’s a minefield right?) rather than sexist because of malice, superiority or willful ignorance. He’s sort of foolishly unsexist.

This is also why I like Flight of the Conchords, it’s pretty obvious that the writers are feminist  but the characters of Brett and Jermaine are clueless inadvertant feminists because they have no desire to impress ‘the boys’ (or the men in the audience) and meet aggressive masculinity with passivity (UNLIKE it’s always sunny in Philidelphia.)
