Since the beginning of time women have been thought of as the weaker sex. We should stay at home, cook, clean, take care of the children, and then at night take care of our men. Then the feminist movement came to be and women started fighting for women’s rights and, eventually, we got some. In fact we have a lot of rights now and are just about as equal. Of course there are the few women that will say that we need even more rights, but I kind of like where we stand right now.
But my question today is this:
Why are men being degraded on TV more and more? Commercials showing men as if they were stupid and needed a woman to tell them how to live their lives? WTH? Some women will say that it’s the women who are being degraded by being referred to as ‘Sex Objects’ in ads, TV shows, and movies. Hell, I’d be happy to be referred to as a ‘Sex Object’ any day ladies, but I get what you’re saying; I’m not stupid…..but how come you never see commercials where the woman is belittled? The average man is depicted nowadays burping, farting, ignorant, and virtually useless. Why?
Women who bitch all the time, tell their men how to dress, how to act, what to say, what to do, etc., (treat them like they are children) are the type of women who, when their men finally becomes less respectful, communicates less, cheat, or finally just walks away from the relationship, are the ones always wondering why?
Why you ask? Because you belittled this man! You cut off his balls and you’re left wondering why?
,…..ok, back on track….now back to the ‘man degrading’ commercials……Apparently, men are pushovers and women are the superior voice in relationships. You’ve seen this script play out on sitcoms all the time. The formula in this worst male-bashing ad is simple: Man + Outside World = Dumb. The message in these commercials revisits classic male stereotypes: Men are simple, unrefined creatures that need to be given direction. Well men are simple, that’s a fact, but most do not need direction by their women. Men only desire a few things in a relationship; sex, food, sex, to be left alone when their team is playing, a woman who is confident, more sex, more food….you get the point! In fact men who allow women to tell them what to do are the type of men us women should stay away from. This type of man is desiring a ‘mommy’ figure and not a wife.
So my question to you is; Who defends heterosexual men when they are depicted as hormonal rejects?
So let’s look at a couple of these commercials now, and then let me hear from you at the comment section below on your thoughts about this subject!
Notice the little girl has learned from her mother that it’s ok to talk to dad like he’s a child, then it’s on to the mother…..
This one has always made me sick by the way this chick talks to her man like he’s a child…..
Until next time…..
Hi Trisha. I am so thankful that somebody sees what I am talking about when it comes to television and media putting down and degrading men on almost epic proportions, and in many cases it is feeding the minds of the younger generations and training them(and even many adults) to think themselves superior and more intelligent than men, which can ultimately lead to men and women thinking it’s not good to be heterosexual. It really bothers me and something must be done, and this is my first step in this process of bringing attention to this matter which you have already began working on. I’m with you on this and am open to ideas of spreading this truth.
Thank you Brandon.
..From experience ,being too forsefull to a man is damaging to your fammilies,.. A male is ginneticly created as the Lead in his family…. Protecting, providing, .supporting. ,. ,,Being Forsefull as a female to your male,, is damaging to a family…
You cannot Change ginnetic.. Mentally physically. Emotional ..look at divorce rates today..
“Hell, I’d be happy to be referred to as a ‘Sex Object’ any day ladies,” This comment within itself is degrading to men as well. The idea right now is that men are not only the ‘weaker sex’ but in terms of sexuality. Women have been completely exploited and are now perceived to be absolutely about sex. Everything from sexual response to sexual behavior has been heavily focused on women. Men are seen as often inferior sexually to women and lacking on every level of intimacy. This in addition to being perceived as lacking intellectually and emotionally as well. In the past women fought hard to not be considered sex objects. However these days that is all that they are perceived as at the expense of men’s humanity. It is a sick situation, one that is headed towards serious conflict and defies social fact. Indeed a real gender war is in development as many men are enraged over these ongoing unified attacks committed by women/feminists, the media and even medical science community. Pseudo science, lies and eugenics play a major role in this new hate movement that is bent on degrading and disenfranchising men socially and economically. The feminists are counting this as a major victory but few understand that they have only provided the seeds of their own demise. War is coming and it is not going to be pretty at all. Sadly women are going to suffer a great deal in the next conflict. A lot is going to be up for grabs. Young men are very angry and a lot of that anger is being focused on women. Who they perceive as being quite privileged economically, biologically and socially. What do you think millions of unemployed men are going to do when they are denied access to even basic resources and women are strutting around in Bmw’s? What do you think is going to happen when all of the so called ‘independent’ women who reject men for sport. Those who describe themselves as ‘bi’, Lesbian or whatever shun men and further make men feel irrelevant. Where do you think that rage is going to go? Who do you think it is going to be directed at? The hate is real and it is growing quickly. You do not have to believe me. Everyone will see. The entire world will see. There is nothing in the world more dangerous than an angry young man.
Thank you for your comment Jake. Very well said.
