Worse: that bit came right after "I can look after your kids".
Stop and deconstruct the world the narrative is implicitly painting. The android is going to be sold to a human -- presumably male -- master who has children (check) and may also expect to be buying a sex slave (this is her recital of her canned default brochure).
There is something creepy and unhealthy about the gender roles/relationships implied in the world in the background. Hint: sex slavery of sentient entities is just the tip of the iceberg: we're also possibly looking at a rollback of gender roles/expectations to the pre-1860 Deep South.
The second moreso. That writers can "accidentally" write these worlds, and they and most males in the audience don't even give it pause.
But what about current day women. You think they'd be thrilled watching that? How it to your sisters, mom, aunts, grandmas. See what they think of it, if they have a more visceral reaction.
It just further spreads archaic sex and gender stereotypes.

Those are not at all "archaic sex and gender stereotypes". The sex trade, including the sex slave trade, is a multi billion dollar industry all over the world, including the US. As is pornography. With surrogate mothers, gay adoption, etc we live in a world where a couple can even get (or in cases, practically, buy) themselves a baby because they just want so.
Those issues don't go away just because we close our eyes.
