Why are you assuming that parent commenter has a spouse that doesn't watch sci fi?

I'm sure you have a point, I wish you wrote about it in a clear way instead of implying unhelpful things about other authors.

In the article, the author describes the people she works with in this exact context.

Parent you're replying to is lumping those further up the comment chain with the people described in the article. She says they often talk about how to get their wives to watch more science fiction movies.

I felt it landed perfectly given the context of the article, YMMV.

It's a reference to a passage in the post, so I wouldn't assume they had any malicious intent.
