The almost ever present male-bashing on network TV has really disgusted me for quite some time, but now that I have a son I am even more aware of the poison. Thankfully, my wife (who happens to be from overseas) also sees the constant emasculation for what it is and we watch very few network TV shows. We want our son to grow up to be a strong man, without the expectation that it’s OK to be a loser, a wife-beater, an idiot, or an incompetent toolbox because that’s what he’s watched on TV for umpteen years.
My advice to married man (and all males) – stand up for yourself (and your gender), if only to earn some of the self respect that’s vital to live a good life. It’s certainly not going to get any better if we all just bend over and take it. Every one of us who doesn’t stand up to male bashing (or any other kind of oppression) sets up our future generations for more of the same failure. Stop the P*ssification of America!
