good point. Having not seen The Merchant of Venice or Loves Labours Lost I can't really comment, but I see where you're coming from.
However, I found both Taming of the Shrew and Measure for Measure to be offensive in their treatment of women (even allowing for contemporary social norms) and yes, Measure for Measure did add insult to injury by also being a bit of a slog to get through
