The Taming of the Shrew is one of very few plays in English which deals with the War of the Sexes honestly.

If you consider other gender comedies - The Pyjama Game, or even There's Something about Mary - the men and women might pretend that they are not getting on together, but at the end of the day it turns out that everybody loves and respects everybody else really.

If you look around you, you will notice that girls can be pretty sick with men, and men can be utterly nasty to girls.

The Taming of the Shrew shows sexual competition for what it is, vicious and potentially dangerous ... and very very silly.
