You’ve seen him plenty of times on sitcoms; he’s the dumb, bumbling, idiot dad, husband and boyfriend who appears useless at everything but bringing home a paycheck. The message: Guys are dumb and women have to lead them around. This, of course, cues the laugh track. Yet a survey from an organization called Children Now found that two-thirds of kid respondents described men on TV as angry, while respondents from another group’s survey said men were portrayed as corrupt on TV by a 17 to 1 margin. Clearly, this is no laughing matter.
To highlight companies pushing anti-guy messages, we’ve compiled a list of the worst male-bashing ads from 2007 and 2008. Whether husbands are portrayed as useless, stereotypical men or absolute airheads, our list of worst male-bashing ads exposes them all.
Check out which worst male-bashing ads are the main offenders.

Some of the them are funny. But yes, the "Menz R stoopid" routine gets old.

Guys get bashed more simply because we take it better than women do. We'll just scratch our nuts, belch and move on. Mention a woman's shortcomings or make fun of her and you've got a war on yer' hands.
On Edit: Maybe the guy who wrote the article, Marc Voyer, is just a whinny little metrosexual like the ones on "Friends".
"I'll be gay for you"!

I don't know, maybe he is a whiny little metrosexual. That doesn't mean he does not have a valid point.
True, male-bashing ads and television shows and movies are no big deal, and if these were the only examples of anti-male bias in the US today, then there really wouldn't be much to get upset over. However, these sorts of ads are very mild examples of a very real anti-male attitude that is pervasive in our nation - from family courts, where men are de-facto assumed unable to raise children, and assumed guilty of heinous acts without a shred of proof indicating their guilt and with no defence allowed; to criminal courts where when men and women are convicted of identical crimes with near-identical circumstances, the man is many times more likely to get a more severe sentence than the woman, than he is to recieve the same sentence as the woman; to schools, where typically male behaviors are discouraged, even punished, while typically female behaviors are encouraged, to the effect that boys are falling farther and farther behind girls in the education gap; to colleges, where despite the fact that more women enroll in college than men, special scholarships still exist just for women, while AFAIK no such scholarships exist exclusively for men.

Yep. Make fun of a guy, it's comedy gold and guys laugh along. Make fun of a woman, you're made the target of a witch hunt for being a sexist pig.

Guys only care for that if the reason your barefoot is because you is nekkid. :hyper:
