Alright. So I'm a journalism major, and for my final project, I have to pick something I find wrong with the media. I was thinking of doing it about the way men are treated/depicted in the media.
Just today I read an article on CNN titled "Are Men Really This Stupid?"--which was basically about the tiger woods, john edwards, and other high profile men of the world who can't keep it in their pants.
Are you kidding me? Do you think I could write an article titled "Are Women Really This Stupid?" and use a bunch of trashy celeb females to blast the entire gender and get away with it? I'd more than likely lose my job.
Almost every sitcom or commercial now presents the same man--dumb, beer drinking, uncultured, pu$$y hound who's wife uses sex as a gift, and she's also the level headed one who keeps the family grounded, and serves as brains of the relationship.
My question is--will this ever stop?
Every other group has protection. Minorities, women, religious groups, homosexuals, transgender, etc.
For the hetero man, no one is there to stick up and fight back. I chalk it up to the man having to be "the man" and just suck it up and roll with the punches, and guys fear that they'll look like a sissy if they complain; but seriously, how long are we going to let this continue?
My biggest problem is women get fed this stuff and actually start to believe all men are like this.
Will there ever be a changing of the tide or is this pretty much it?
