Is it just me, or are men in general (i.e. not just me) being depicted as fools, oafs and incompetent boobs in the media these days? As Jerry Seinfeld, the genius behind a sitcom with two classic buffoons -- "hipster doofus" Kramer and "stocky, bald" George -- would say, " What's the deal with dolts showing up everywhere as today's average male?" Are we really so incompetent?
Male bashing is the current 'In' thing today.
Male bashing is everywhere.
TV and other popular media make us believe that men are the worst thing that has ever happened to women.Even the internet isn't far behind.
The backlash against male domination in our society has reached the point where we expect a father in a sitcom or TV commercial to be an oafish, grunting Neanderthal, as in Tim Allen's famous caricature of the "typical" male. Take the male leads in Everybody Loves Raymond or The King of Queens , for example: blundering nitwits, most of the time.
On Queer Eye for the Straight Guy , homosexuals are telling men how to be men and how to treat their women, because the straight men are too incompetent to tune in to women's tastes. Gay men are straightening out straight guys, for crying out loud!
Friends ' Joey has become softer over the years. He's less of a macho player than he was, and has been distilled down to his knucklehead essence. He's more like the prototype for all such fatheads, Homer Simpson.
It does not stop there , Now medical research is seen pitting men against women.
Y : The descent of Man by Steve Jones
and The X in SEX : How the X chromosome controls our lives. by David Bainbridge
Jones and Bainbridge arrive in different ways at the same conclusion: women are the more resilient sex.Jones , professor of genetics at university college london , puts it bluntly "Males are wilting away ...From sperm count to social status , and from fertilization to death , as civilization advances those who bear Y chromosomes are in relative decline"
Bainbridge , lecturer in comparative anatomy and physiology at the royal Veterinary College in London focuses more on the biology of sex differences "Almost every woman is , inside out , a patchwork of two different cells -Some using one X-chromosome , and some the other...What more all encompassing way could one want for women to be more complex than
men ?, consequently , they are less vulnerable to such sex-linked diseases as hemophilia , muscular dystrophy and color blindness "
There you have it , we are idiots , socially incompetent , dinosaurs , who are apparently going to be extinct soon(Did the male child loving chinese and Indians know about this .In some twisted way, is female infanticide the only way to ensure the survival of males ? Disgusting and politically incorrect ,this notion will undoubtedly anger many feminists).
These days , women dictate male fashion too :A few days ago being a metro sexual was 'IN"
Now an article " Hey man you're back " by a Ms.Jyoti Sharma tells that men want to reclaim their machismo by not wearing pink shirts or getting their weekly pedicures.
I'm not a metro sexual ; Ask me a Question ?
Hey , do you ex foliate your skin often ?
Freak , Get away from me , or I'll bash you Up !
Ex foliate -shmeckfoliate , Bah !
Women may be liberated , more empowered and more in control of their own lives, but that does not mean that we men are taking a step backwards
Imagine a world without men.
Why are men still around ? asks a joke...
Well , vibrators can't mow lawns !
I bet , when men are extinct , they'll invent one of those vibrators that be used as lawn mowers and bush trimmers(no pun intended ! ), and most shows like oprah will be extinct as well , and women can be fat and happy at the same time .
Feminists will commit mass suicides , because they have lost the cow that they would have milked dry .
Wow , I see heaven !

My 2 cents worth:
ReplyDeleteThe media is about as fickle as a monkey in a fruit shop. Social research is, to me, akin to one-of-the-six-blind-men-and-the-elephant syndrome. When they study anything at all, they look at the tail and declare the elephant is like a rope and set about to prove it, without consulting the other five.
Tomorrow, they'll be reporting about something else..
Yes , men have their flaws too
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately male bashing is socially acceptable (no one seems to have protested!) .
In these days of political correctness , one can safely get away with male bashing than poking fun at colour or race or dumb blondes !
Lets hope the media becomes more gender neutral in the future .
AWFUL!!
ReplyDelete"if someone as powerful as Daddy is vulnerable to such disregard, aren't they also?"
ReplyDeleteexactly...
AWFUL ....Yes !
