Why are men and fathers depicted as morons and bumpkins?

Question

There is a sickening and disrespectful trend in TV and radio commercial content that shows the father, husband or man as a complete idiot. The women in these ads are depicted as the protagonist problem solver, and the kids are smart *** brats that can do no wrong. Why do we get c**p like this? Is it because women are profligate spenders, and naive enough to be influenced by this junk? Any theories out there?

Answer 1

It's fashionable to Bash men today.

Wait a few years and the fashion will change.

Answer 2

Hello my friend,

The sad truth is TV reflects exactly what society wants.

If the ratings go up with an idiot male actor, then more show will appear with other idiot male actors.

That is the same reason why the new is so negative.  People watch the negative more than the positive.

Remember, it is all about the money when it comes to TV shows (and everything else it seems)

If enough people would refuse to watch these shows I guarantee they would disappear.

I hope this helps.

Because that is society.  You put a guy to look smart and make him not be a jerk and he's nothing.  Then you make him look like an idiot and a complete *** hole and everybody loves him.  Its kind of like, why do girls always fall for the wrong guy, the jerks?  Funny, but true, don't blame us for treating you the way we do though!!!

Answer 4

Most families revolve around the mom.  The mom does look-out for everyone.  Go to a grocery store and look at who buys food, TP and medicines for the family.  It is principally mom.  Look in a clothing store at who buys the kid's underwear.  You'll seldom see dad there.  Mom will even buy dad's underwear, but dad would never by everyday stuff for mom.

Moms take care of the family.  And they know it.  They see themselves as the person responsible and it is important to them that they do take care of everyone.

A commercial must reach the target in a way that the target identifies with.  The commercial is designed to get the woman to nod her head, "yeah, that's what its like".
