Well, but that's the problem, isn't it? Teenage boys are the ones who are going to be much less aware of insidious sexism than girls are, since girls are more likely to have experienced it. So it's that much more important for boys to get the message that it's NOT acceptable behavior - but you have the character they're identifying with making sexist jokes and slut-shaming the female characters, and the show implicitly condoning it.
