"**The White Lotus**" took a subtle shot at "gender goblins" on the left on Sunday night when HBO’s hit show continued to .

"The White Lotus," a dark comedy drama about a group of vacationers at a high-end resort in Thailand, regularly touches on cultural and class issues. In an early scene from the fourth episode of season three, Saxon Ratliff, played by Patrick Schwarzenegger, mocked his little sister, Piper, who is played by Sarah Catherine Hook, for being ""

Schwarzenegger’s character wanted the family’s youngest sibling, Lochlan Ratliff, played by Sam Nivola, to drink a protein shake.

"We don’t do it for the taste, we do it for the high T and BDE," he said, referring to testosterone and "big d--k energy."

Hook’s character, who is a college senior studying religion, chimed in and said that girls aren’t into "super jacked" guys.

"Really? What are they into, Piper? Gender goblins that tuck their d---s in between their legs?" Schwarzenegger’s character asked.

Schwarzenegger’s character then snatched a book from his sister’s hands, and said he would only give it back if she kept her "phobias" to herself.

"Don’t turn our little brother into an a-gender, a-sexual like you," he said.

In "The White Lotus," Laurie asks Kate outright if , to which she responds with a curt smile and a long pause before saying, "Are we really gonna talk about Trump tonight?'' and quickly changing the subject.

Kate maintained that she was an independent but admitted at dinner that her husband, Dave, was a member of the Republican Party.

The admission transpired after religion was brought up over dinner and Kate explained she and her husband go to church every Sunday. When asked if it ever got awkward when discussing politics, Kate seemed oblivious to why it would be, but her friends were operating under the assumption that she was a Democrat.
