Is a man always the "villain" on the Lifetime Move Channel/Network?

I don't deny men's entertainment often times gives an unhealthy view of women, but the content on Lifetime also needs to be addressed. No exaggeration, EVERY TIME I stumble upon a Lifetime Original Movie, there is always at least one male character depicted as either sexist, manipulative, and/or abusive towards a woman. Is it reasonable to say that these repeated themes are unhealthy - especially to young, impressionable girls? The entire channel is devoted to women and in every movie they create the man is the villian, beating up women, shooting women, stabbing raping and stalking women, in some way, shape, or form. If men came out with a channel that painted women in the same way, it would be called sexist and women would lobby to get it canceled.
