And The Sopranos had women doing things other than being strippers or being tortured. In fact, most of the female screentime is women being neither of those things. Mayor of Kingstown cheerfully goes for whole series with barely seconds of women being anything other than the victims of abuse; half of the first series is about a stripper/prostitute being abused, degraded and tortured. The showrunners aren't trying to make any point there beyond the idea that men frowning as if constipated is a strong look . Toxic masculinity all the way down.

The scenes at the front of house (ie with strippers) tend to be short - often with non-family members (I assume it's noise-context dependent). IMO it's not a full of tits show. Satriale's is also used extensively. Ultimately though it's a strip club with strippers.
Even rewatching it in the last 2yrs it didn't strike me as wildly inappropriate or anything. That could be biase from watching the show in my younger days. Conversely, my OH and I tried to watch GoT a couple of years ago having never watched it at the time. It felt incredibly gratuitous and uncomfortable in a post-#metoo world.
