Many TV commercials depict females as clever and all-knowing while they depict males as bumbling fools, but never the other way around. Some examples:
- In a commercial for Wallet Wizard loans, a dim-witted dork of a male (pictured), with mouth agape, whines “Honey I accidentally laminated the cat”. The attractive wife, with a long-suffering look says, “another vet bill – where will we get the money?”. No self-respecting male should ever do business with this company.
- In an AAMI commercial, the cat belonging to a smart,sassy female runs up a tree and a fool of a male tries to rescue it, only to find himself trapped up the tree. All males should boycott AAMI. Australian insurance companies are some of the worst offenders when it comes to depicting smart, beautiful women and stupid, bumbling males.
University texts have become feminised and anti-male. Following university indoctrination, the more activist teachers are disseminating the anti-male propaganda, telling their classes for example, that the reasons for wars is the innately violent nature of men (see below, “A word from a feminist”).
American sitcoms are replete with images of oafish, bumbling males who constantly need assistance from smart, smug females.
American crime shows such as Law & Order – Special Victims Unit depict men as evil rapists and murderers. Stabler, the former male star of SVU took great delight in slamming each male suspect up against the wall and hissing “you low-life scumbag” in his face. On the rare occasion the detectives apprehend a woman suspect they treat her very gently because there must have been a good reason she murdered her child.
All of the negative images of males is having a devastating effect on the morale of young boys. “They are soaking up these negative images”, says Don Bowak, NSW president of the Men’s Health and Well-Being Association. “There’s huge anger and they don’t even know where it is coming from”.
