Male bashing in commercials and everywhere else

TRUNKS
June 28th, 2004, 06:17
I dunno if you've seen commercials lately (within the last 20 years) but there is a continuing trend of us men being treated like idiots all the time. Ever seen a computer commercial that says "ooh so easy even daaaaaaad can use it". Oh, you mean the guy that bought you the computer? That dad? The dad is the one always using the inferior product or always messing up.
Enter SUPERWOMAN. She's modern, she can think for herself, and she's still not making as much as those with the cursed fifth limb.
In soap operas, it's always the guy cheating on the girl and breaking her heart. And if it's the girl cheating on the guy- it's the guy's fault for not being a good husband.
When women can't get aroused, it's her man's fault. But when we can't get aroused-her man has to go to the doctor.
The prime example was that show Home Improvement with Tim Allen and his nazi wife, Patricia Richardson. In every episode, Tim always wronged 'Jill' and was forced to appologize again and again- that show was so popular cuz it always showed the MAN crawling on his belly for forgiveness from the all wise woman.
It doesn't take scooby doo to solve this mystery- if women were portrayed as men were, hell would be raised by feminists and more.

CURSE YOU!

Your arguments have no ground. Men have always tried to be the "better" species. We've always (tried to have) been the stronger, the smarter, the all around better gender. Take for example the U.S. President, always Male. Take for example the military, it's made up of mostly men. Take a look at most prime ministers, MEN. Most dictatorships - MEN. Astronauts.. MEN. Pilots.. MEN. It's MANS fault for us now being portrayed as "less intelligent".

However, Home Improvement was so popular because Tim Allen always your typical American Man.. the "I can do it all" type, where it would bit him in the ---. However, NOT all shows are like that.

Well, a few hundred or thousand years ago 2 million 'witches' were 'slaughtered' by men... Men have been the dominant side for too long... But they only killed the women because they were potentially more powerful... From what I've read anyways.
And britain has had one female priminister and there are a few female astronauts too. Men have had the leading role for a bit long dont you think..?

although in the begining the world was a matriarch, it soon become mostly patriarch for a long time, until currently now. it's parly the woman's fault too. they're accepted their role as inferior to men. it's only been now that some radical women have seen something wrong here and strived for some sort of equality.

Holy ---- dude.... thats a lotYea man. Because I'm 20, I'm a male, I drive an expensive brand new car and I had 1 accident back in 2002 it's high. Apparently when I turn 21 (Oct), it'll go down by $270 dollars or so.

Well maybe not everyone, but they should.How do you figure? Women are far more intelligent than men are and tend to live much longer. As a country and as a world we haven't allowed women to express their full potential. We haven't even allowed them to show us what they are capable of because we continue to push them down with arrogent statements like what you just made.

Im 18, have 5 points on my license, car in my name and I pay 200 a month for 6 months. I thought that was a lot....


As for the topic, I have met stupid males (myself being one), and stupid females. There is no dominant gender. I just think females lay down for males

there should be no generalization between who is or who should be more dominant--female, male. and it shouldn't stop there; cultures, races, religions, intellgience, etc. it's all an individual thing. should we forget that and generalize into a grouping, then we've just made it worse for ourselves and the rest of humanity.

Yes, but from a religious viewpoint, men were made first. In fact throughout the Bible, it appears that they are supposed to be the leaders.

But if you don't give a crap about the Bible, then what I just said means nothing.

Last time I checked it was the Virgin Mary that gave "birth", Not the Virgin Mark.

which brings up a good point. Now, more than ever before is an age where there is a lot more equality between the sexes. Our archaic society still tends to keep women down, but it's changing more and more all the time.

But, as far as who has it easier, it's still men. Men don't have to give birth, or go through all that other crap that women have to do (feminine problems :p)

and so forth...

I think I might like this. You think the Bible says Mary was the first person?
THat's ace. Alternatively, if you're saying she had a dominant role, check how she didn't even get to have sex before she pushed jesus through her thighs. .

Who said Mary was teh first person? We know Adam and Eve were created. Secondly, notice how I put "Birth" in quotes, because we know she didn't have sex, or else she wouldn't have been called the VIRGIN Mary.

Without Woman, man wouldn't exist.

Haha but in the creation story in the Bible, Eve was made from one of Adam's ribs.

Not to mention that after they sinned, God told her, "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you. "

Eventhough interesting,this topic brings us no where. Oh well, here is what i think. I think too many of us are looking down on woman. Lately here, young woman are the ones that buy new expensive cars and on the education side, woman are doing much better than woman.

Women are far more intelligent than men are and tend to live much longer.What makes you think women are more intelligent than men? Isn't that feminism going to far? The problem with feminism nowadays is that they are no longer pushing for gender equality, they have already achieved that. They're trying to make females the better sex. What happened to the principle of equality?

Anyway, women only live longer than men because they aren't married to women.


And britain has had one female priminister and there are a few female astronauts too. Men have had the leading role for a bit long dont you think..?Yea, they've had it for a really long time. But from the context of your post and by the way you phrased that, you sound like you want women to take the leading role. I sure hope that's not what you meant.


As a country and as a world we haven't allowed women to express their full potential.Sure they do, which law says women aren't allowed to do anything men do? There are few women astronauts not because people are discriminating against women, there are few women astronauts because women do not have the bulk men do to survive in harsh conditions like those in space.


We haven't even allowed them to show us what they are capable of because we continue to push them down with arrogent statements like what you just made.That's just one person. Don't stereotype the entire male gender with a statement like that. I've seen just as many females bash males as I have seen males bashing females.

As long its for, you know, equal time or whatever ;). The ones Ive met think men should do ALL of that stuff, ALL of the time. Hypocracy annoys me. ~_~; There also seems to be this attitude where they abuse the title and treat men like roadkill - as though every men was the entire reason for inequality in the past, and whenever the man tries to defend the male species, theyre called sexist. They want to achieve equality by making everything 'anti-men'. XD I think those kind of feminists were coined 'feminazi's...

I dont believe either sex is 'superior', but I cant resist adding this... 'Men are superior to women. For one thing, men can urinate from a speeding car.'

Research. Girls mature faster than boys and are smarter. We do not practice gender equality yet and if you want to believe that, then you probably believe that racism in the U.S. has been eliminated.

Funny.

I want women to take more leading roles. I want women to be President of the U.S., I want to see more CEO Women of major corporations. The only well known CEO Woman is HP's CEO, Carleton S. Fiorina.


Sure they do, which law says women aren't allowed to do anything men do? There are few women astronauts not because people are discriminating against women, there are few women astronauts because women do not have the bulk men do to survive in harsh conditions like those in space.
Ohh that's rubish. "do not have the bulk men do to survive in harsh conditions like those in space". Please man.



That's just one person. Don't stereotype the entire male gender with a statement like that. I've seen just as many females bash males as I have seen males bashing females.
Males have bashed Females since the start of cilivation. In my day job (broker), I see this same crap all the time.. "the woman doesn't know what she's doing; I can't believe you followed her advice; woman don't gamble".
