I figure I need to re-up my PoliBoard cred by posting this. Also, I think it's bullshite.

Men are the dumbasses today, constantly saved by their good fortune of being married to a woman and having her constant supervision.

What happened to a dude being a bad arse in commercials, or at least being suave? The Dos Equis guy is one, and... Who else? fricking Mr. Clean?

Well many limp noodles on this board think Ronda Rousy could kick Floyd Mayweather's arse. And I made a couple of sexist jokes (in good humor) and got a bunch of downvotes. And based upon a lot of the posts RE: the situation in Ukraine, a lot of these guys are fricking retarded.

I said all that to say that you can probably lay off complaining about the commercials.

at some point during the 90s, a social consciousness developed wherein males were irrational, sex-craved idiots who needed to be tamed and guided by the alpha female wife. just think about the change in sit com wife from the 70s to the 80s/90s

the ultimate examples of this = jill taylor and debra ramone. frick those counts and everything they "stand" for

It's simple.

Hollywood has determined that real men no longer need to have an opinion. Women need to tell men what they need to think.

Pussy starved kids need to bow down to this thinking. Grown men can say to hell with this line of this thinking.

Now that's what's up.

ETA: I'm going to see how long this one lasts in my cubicle.

FETA: That's the greatest shite I've seen all month.

It's all part of the plan to destroy the family unit. Men need to be portrayed as useless idiots, metro sexuals or gay. Manly men intimidate too many people.

Oh no, it goes much farther back than the 90s. Actually, the 70s were the real coming of age for this kind of thing. I remember noticing it in tv commercials at the time, which is noteworthy because I was less than 10 for the entire decade. It took a lot for me to notice something. The women always won on TV. It was deliberate, like a nouveau-production code.

The famous battle of the sexes tennis match threw women a bone, while allowing men to assert that the contest was won against an old man. It worked for everyone, and set the tone for the Xenas and Katnisses that would come - I.e. women who could defeat men in physical combat. Of course, in a media-driven, "evolved" society like ours, this is almost never tested, so it perpetuates and evolves. This is called irony.

Feminism is really just feminization. Though you get to see ineffectual pseudo political feminism in places like Russia, only the west really sees or is obsessed with it. Underneath, women are not nearly as revered, and US culture is discredited through mass media as being soft, gay and subservient to females.

The commercials are marketing to housewives.

As are the terrible sitcoms.

They why they paint a false picture of the american female... to sell things.

It doesn't help that the whole hipster craze is in full effect. I'm definitely not an alpha male but I've walked into a room full of them and felt completely alpha. It was further confirmed that night one got pissed about me bumping into him and spilling a couple drops of his fruity drink. He decided that no apology or offer for another drink would suffice. He was going to defeat me with is words. I finally asked him what he was going to do about it. He was done. I look back and smh on that whole incident.

Take a marketing class. Women spend the money. Why would they do anything differently? The feminist comments here are ignorant. It's business.
