Home Depot tends to be fairly odious in this respect, also.
AMEN!!!!
This lady just noticed this? This has been going on for decades!!
This is why I hardly ever watch teevee or movies.
My kids have noticed it also, and it irritates them too.
I think most of us have noticed this trend over the last couple of decades. It’s real, and it’s entrenched.
The feminazis of the 70s and 80s made it socially acceptable to attack men, which had the unintended consequence of cementing the idea that men were reprehensible creatures who deserved derision.
That, of course, led to the ubiquitous images we see today of bumbling, awkward, and incompetent men as the stable datum.
It’s nothing more than a long-term leftist attack on the nuclear family. Remove the man from his traditional place in the family structure and replace him with Big Daddy Government.
It was so insipid I had to turn it off as it portrayed the husband as a dolt and the beautiful wife as a rocket scientist.
Yet through the episode I found out that the husband had a job of some sorts and the wife stayed home. Their home was very nice too, so how could the man be such a twit yet make the requisite money needed to not only have a nice home but allow his wife to not work?
I don't watch much TV any more.
What is WORSE is Broadview Security - formerly Brinks.
Every single burglar, thug, enraged ex boyfriend is a white male...
I have never seen one commercial of theirs that has a black, or Hispanic/Latino thug, burglar or enraged ex boyfriend and I have seen a dozen different types of their t.v. commercials over the last few years.
This is case despite the overwhelming crime statistics that reveal most - the vast majority of thugs, residential burglars and battering ex boyfriends are black, Hispanic/Latino and then at the bottom of the list White folks.
The Fort Worth Star Telegram publishes every week an array of photos of recently arrested criminals for such crimes (included those wanted by warrants) - those types that Broadview Security systems might deter... AND 90% of them each and every week are black, Hispanic/Latino and then smattering of whites.
This was the case when they operated under the Brinks name too.
OUTRAGEOUS...
With the rise of the women’s movement, men have been made the butt of jokes.
Men have been made to feel sissified by the women’s movement.
Men who are real men are portrayed as neanderthals when the opposite is the case.
Conservative men and conservative women respect one another for the most part and they usually support one another in good times and in bad times. Liberal relationships are much more tenuous, temporary and not really based on anything of a substantial nature. Also, conservative women tend to be a lot better looking than liberal women and the conservative women generally age a lot better too. I think the reason for this is the values, principles and ideals that help make conservative women - and conservative men too - a much better fit especially for long term relationships.
I wouldn’t touch a Corona Beer if it was the only beer on the planet....
What I notice in commercials is depicting kids as not even up to wimp status -totally useless/helpless and stupid. And yes the dumping of food or the jumping on furniture etc. I know what a company is trying to do, but I know what I do, and it is directly related to the remote. To me it is a distinct negative connotation of what a person should be, adult or otherwise.
This is one reason I refuse to buy anything at Hallmark (or watch their TV specials). They are generally insulting to men.
I see stuff like that all the time too.
I’m not hypersensitive or anything, but I do wonder what the long term affects of this will be on society.
It is part of feminizing and homosexualizing the nation. There is no room for real men. Homos, metros, and effeminate men are acceptable and exalted; all other men are subhuman according to dykes on bikes, homos, hollywood, the old media, and feminazis.
You are not the only one.
The Broadview Security people (used to be Brinks) has the man ask his wife in bed whether or not he should go check on the intruder downstairs.
It’s true, but who cares? Most men have enough self-esteem that they aren’t bothered by any of this. It’s only people with low self-esteem and doubts about their self-worth who NEED to see ads that give them a boost.
As you can see, this is not a new issue.
Imagine the howls if the images were reversed, if the woman was presented as a helpless bimbo or a whiny twit.
These advertisers think they can insult me and still expect me to buy their product?
Not gonna happen. Vote with your wallet.
Actually, this trend is the result of two factors:
1. Since women do most household purchasing (according to all polls), a product has to make them feel “empowered” when they surrender their property for its use (that’s called “buying something”). “I’m smarter than my absent/unemployed husband” works better than the old “can I please my master” advertising of the 50’s and 60’s. Seriously, some of those television ads from when a lot of us were kids are hilarious.
2. I lived in New York and dealt with advertising types quite a bit, and believe me, they’re mostly fags. Nothing more needs to be said about that.
Society works very hard at changing man’s nature into something more feminine, then complains when no “real” man can be found.
Men are not wanted no desired on television.
They don’t want men to watch so men do not watch.
even football and baseball commercials are more about malebashing.
