I had to look up MGTOW....I think Vintage Sheldon's gender was rather irrelevant. He was an intellect, obsessed with the mysteries of the universe. Women can be like that as well. Quite obviously.
TBBT for all its clever dialogue and brilliant acting was always dreadfully conventional and un-PC. Raj is a borderline stereotype throwback at times. Likewise Howard. The very concept of Penny being a "dumb blonde" from Nebraska is un-PC. These things haven't changed.
If the show was kneeling NOW to the likes of the PC society (by which I presume is meant those who object to discrimination which is based on arbitrary characteristics like skin colour or sexual preference, that don't bloody touch the soul of a person), then Sheldon would have been allowed to remain ASEXUAL.
Making an asexual intellect into a heterosexual, increasingly redneck, arse-slapping MAN who gets horny (christ on a bike) is about as non-PC as you can get.
Making the blonde even dumber and marrying her off, ditto, VERY NON PC.
Marriage and babies is deeply, deeply conventional, and is something that is still beyond the realm of possibility for a lot of "PC" people.
TBBT has problems, but catering to the PC crowd and feminists (which would be every man and woman I know, personally, given that feminism is just believing women should have the same rights as men) is not one of them.
