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.

I’m not sure I would to that far. I think the reasoning is that they are selling to women. And women often view their husbands as about as helpless as kids. Not that they are, but it makes the women feel better to view themselves as indispensable.

And I’ve noticed it’s particularly acceptable to attack WHITE men. My husband and I laugh at the security system commercials that always show a white intruder—never a Black, Hispanic, or other type. I’m sure they’re thinking “payback” time—that it’s high time a white guy is portrayed as the one busting down the door or eyeing a hapless woman.
