Brad,

Tom said he couldn't add anything to this, but I surely can.

I would submit a challenge to everyone... !! Mind you, I watch very little TV, but what little I do watch I have been able to observe something which disturbs me to no end. It isn't the programming I'm referring to . . . Rather, it is the commercials.

Here's the challenge... pay close attention to the commercials and focus upon how those commercials portray men. My contention is that they are portrayed as, for example, total slobs, ignorant, stupid, sexist, drunks, party-animals, inept, self-centered, heartless, irresponsible, inordinately submissive, (add your own pejorative here), etc. Granted, it is true that there are some men who could easily fill the shoes of the composite man exemplified in those commercials. But the majority of men are hardly worthy of the image being foisted, no doubt, by the feminist philosophy. The bottom line, IMHO, is that there is a massive effort to portray men as useless and expendable "things" which without a woman would inevitably fall into non-existence.
