All the tv and movies in other categories have the guys being stupid, always needing women’s help to do anything. It’s just crazy.

It's crazy - AND it's not entertaining for straight men and women... (then again maybe film makers are only interested in the 4% of movie goers who are gay...)

The fact we have to point out to others when we see this, at least people we know and love and trust, is that portraying men this way - particularly white men - as fat, lazy, stupid, women and blacks and every other minority kicking their asses - is that this is deliberate portrayal by hollyweird and the media companies. This is the message that is being broadcast that kids and others are receiving and it’s reinforced as white guys are the only ‘minority’ group (we aren’t 50% or more of the population) that is legal and acceptable to portray this way.
