a woman playing a man's pet dog, in 2015?

I haven't seen or read the play, but I have heard about it for years. And it struck me reading about it again now, how odd it seems to me in 2015, to have a play where a woman plays a man's pet dog. I'm surprised it hasn't struck a negative chord in this sense - that someone hasn't bashed it as clearly just the male fantasy and the treatment of women. I'm not saying it does express that or that they'd be right, I'm just saying based on the premise that I'd surprised it doesn't come up. Does it seem strange to watch it as a play? Or does it just SOUND like a potentially iffy idea.
