Its not about men or women, there is stupid people in the world of both genders and all races..why complain now that men are FINALLY being portrayed as something other than the leader of the house, hero etc. Roles women never had to look up to until today, thats all im saying. Women have been portrayed as morons, weak, children, annoying since literally the beginning of film, tv, and even books. Now that its finally starting to equal out (which its still not even close) people (men) now see a problem with it? So why wasn't it wrong before, when it was extremely one-sided?
Don't even get me started on the other more harmful portrayals of women and sexualizing of children going on. You said "seems as though there is an accepted denigration of males"wheres I would strongly claim the opposite (Im sure you can think of some examples), I never hear anything but denigration of women in movies and tv, and its widely accepted and laughed at, the difference is the denigration of women stems quite a bit farther back (thousands of years) and still goes on today in a world where the power has and still is mostly held by white men. It was only the 90s when you could still legally rape your wife in the USA, women have been considered property up until recent times, so excuse my lack of sympathy for "bumbling sitcom dads", I just think theres way more important things to worry about
The shows in question (I'm assuming you are talking about family guy, simpsons etc. Are made by men, that saying "throw rocks at boys they're stupid" (however it goes) was made by 2 menthen I hear about guys whining about it and taking these things out on women and feminisminstead of actually figuring out whos behind it? Feminism is a political science that doesn't care about frivolous schoolyard sayings, they care about civil rights and equality for all, when its achieved these silly sayings wont exist, gender roles will be a thing of the past and it would sound just as ludicrous as being racist sounds nowadays (its common for the groups to be affiliated with anti-poverty, anti-gay and anti racist organizations for a reason) that have men and women of every color and walk of life working at them (unlike the CEOs of a bank).
I worked at a help centre (mostly to do with help of abuse, anti-poverty etc) and they help everyone, no one is turned away. If you are a 250 pound rich white guy you will get help if you need it and wont be laughed away for speaking out against abuse like you will from the 250 pound rich white morons at the police station who couldn't care less even when truly helpless people come to them for help. The humiliation is amazing and its sick that people with so little training in basic compassion have the power to strip you naked and arrest you.
Anyways I'm getting off topic, whichever way you slice it the portrayals of women to this day on tv/movies is much more detrimental to women than the portrayals of men are to other men, and I still haven't heard one thing men are complaining about that hasn't applied to women much more harshly, for longer, whilst being one-sided, there just is no contest. I don't understand how people can blame women let alone feminism for tv shows males are creating and writing.. that logic is just fantastic to me.
Thank you for not responding with something stupid, that's hard to come by on the internet, your name really had me convinced you were a troll but I guess I just don't watch 30 rock lol
