Thank you, I was a single parent of 2 boys. I had no child support and 3 jobs at times to keep a roof over our heads. Maybe, your message will reach a soul

Personally, I think that a lot of these advertisements are quiet infuriating to me personally. A lot of times, I feel like advertisements need to portray men not as a stereotype, and look at the whole picture.

Now here’s a huge problem regarding the the end of your post. If there was an organization that actually did something about this; I’m afraid they would be seen as “complaining that men where being treated unfairly.” and would be laughed at. I believe that would be that case simply because the common person only hears about women being treated unfairly, and would probably believe that the inverse is impossible.

Well, that’s all that I have to say for now. PS I just found this blog today and have taken a liking to it; so in the words of Arnold: I’ll be back…

I don’t think anybody likes to be stereotyped, but that what we all do to each other most of the time. We live in area’s where we can relate with the culture, we tend to judge anyone who enters our area that might have a different point of view . . . . etc. I could go on like this for ever. But the truth is, at least in my humble opinion, it’s all written in the Bible. “There is nothing new under the sun”. We, myself included continue to make the same mistakes over and over, and we live in a society that is capitalist. Not that I have a better way in mind of governing our country. But you know, the one thing we all have but tend not to use correctly is, “Freedom of Choice”. We can turn the channel or simple turn the TV off or put down the magazine we’re thumbing through that has the adds we find offensive. But instead of doing this, we come to places like this, or stand around the office coffee pot and bitch about these things, or sometimes even laugh at them. You got to admit, from a comedy standpoint, some of this stuff, especially the sitcoms, is very funny. They are designed to appeal to a certain audience. If your not one of them turn it off. Truth is the reason these aids and TV shows are common place, is because demographic studies show they are the most watched. You do the math.

This is an important post. I hope advertisers, marketers, and change agents are listening. If you decide to move ahead, please do keep us updated. I’d like to support your efforts.

It’s high time for real heroes to be represented in the media - men who are strong, capable, intelligent, and committed to their wives and families.

I totally agree with you on this. It’s up to us to redefine what manhood today really means - not just for us, but for all boys today.

I wrote a post after watching the Go Daddy ads during the Super Bowl: http://sahdinlansing.com/a-tale-of-two-daddys/

Glad to find your blog!

It is tedious but much of this happens because it is easier to go with tried and true than to pave new ground.

I am not sure what Superbowl Commercials you are referring to but sometimes, most times really, I think the commercials know there is a neandertal joke there and they let us in on it.

There is nothing wrong with breast staring.
