Wow! What an impressive article! How surprising to see liberals and feminists finally recognizing this bias. I think it’s fair to say women were never treated with as much degradation and disrespect as men have been treated this last decade on TV. Are men on TV portrayed as the old woman used to be, or are they really the new “nigger”? The ever-present weak inferior being, juxtaposed next to the powerful intelligent superior being, there only to remind us all just who the better human is? We live in an era where misogyny is condemned and misandry celebrated. An era of female supremacist ideals as the result of feminisms refusal to die. Modern women who indeed have every right and opportunity a man does are still being taught they are oppressed by men, that men are the true sexists that posses all the power, that men’s very nature oppresses them. This indoctrination allows them to believe they are entitled to hate and ridicule their “powerful masters”. In reality they are simply being taught to hate, along with the men being taught to hate themselves. I think it is having an enormous impact on how men are treated in society. I see more self-segregation among the sexes, I meet many women who’s idea of casual conversation is to bash and belittle their husbands boyfriends and lovers, I meet hordes of self depreciating men with no confidence. I personally don’t think being a wage slave and sacrificing your soul to be thought of as wealthy and powerful is any desirable endeavor. We have to stop attributing so much worth to salary and wage and we have to give up this idea of a power/wage struggle between the sexes. If only feminism will let us. However all this fuss is over nothing, there are some very simple solutions we all are free to practice, reject tradition, reject feminism, cancel your cable, do what makes you happy, choose a mate you like for their personality. Happiness waits.
