Who Is Wearing The Panties?
I have been meaning to write this blog for several months now so here it goes…. better late than never. I have a serious issue with recent ads. There are too may to count that offend me, and frankly should offend every red blooded American man. Call me traditional (i know imagine that) but this bullshit in ads, and for that matter modern TV sitcoms and such…. of portraying men as weak, dorky slobs that are not worth a damn other than for catering to every whim of their over bearing, demanding and pushy wives is nauseating! I find nothing interesting, comical or empowering about this type of advertising, marketing and TV/hollywood push. The question I want to ask is what kind of woman would want to be with such a guy? When I see these ads I want to barf…I sure as hell don't want to buy what they are selling. Is it just me or what?
I happen to get a serious laugh out of "Family Guy." But even this show has Peter as the BIGGEST moron ever. There are so many other acts of intelligent humor going on in that show I can briefly over look it, but this is one of hundreds of examples. Why oh why is the weak male being glorified? This is a horrible thing for men in general and for the real women out there seeking sharp, strong, manly men.
I know this is going to piss some people off and that's ok. If we all had the same opinion, just think how boring….but this is one thing I am tired of letting pass. Feminists killed the strong man. The kind of men I find so incredibly enticing. Strong of mind, rugged but romantic, hunter and gatherer who looks drop dead gorgeous in a business suit. Damn all you women demanding equality to the point of killing gender benefits. Equality as far as pay to skill = good. Don't get me wrong…. I love being a strong independent educated woman, but gosh darn it I love when a man holds the door open for me, compliments me on my outfit or carries groceries to my car. Men don't do that any more because of you bra burners screaming "we are capable and don't need you." That's crap! I want and need those men back. Thank God I married one and from time to time meet one. When I do meet one I tell him! I tell him how much I appreciate his kindness and that I am thankful his "type" is not totally extinct. Flip flops, raggedy t-shits and 3 day old hair is not turn on. Skipping school to chill at the mall or beach is not sexy. In between jobs ( for 3 years) and living in your parents basement is not ok and treating women like your buddies just plain sucks. Now don't get me wrong guys, I do not put all the blame on you. In my mind, the majority of this behavior is placed on how parents are raising their kids now a days and the fact that MTV has made boys think being a slob is cool and can lead you to reality TV stardom. And girls? Holy hell what a ton of bitches we are raising. Jersey Shore kids and Real Housewives should NOT be your role models. No wonder guys are giving up and or have stopped caring. There are soooooooo many cruel bitchy evil and conniving women out there that only a weak man with zero confidence could stand to be bossed around by them.
Are we too far gone? I fear the pendulum has swung way out there and may be stuck never to return to some sort of balance. Again, Equality in the work force….I am all for, But why did the movement have to continue to a point of squashing what made men men and what made the joys of being a woman so awesome. There are fabulous benefits to men being men and women being women. We were made to compliment one another not act the freaking same! Ok I am done ranting but would love to know if any one else out there feels as I do or if I am alone with my thoughts on this one?
