The fact of the matter is that men in general are often portrayed as idiots in commercials and on sitcoms. And no one says anything about it because men have been the oppressors for so long. But I still think it's worthy of discussion. I have two Caucausian sons. I don't want them growing up to feel like they are seen as utter morons any more than I want them to grow up to be sexist jerks.
Sometimes - unfairness goes both ways. Saying that doesn't mean that anyone is saying men are oppressed. Just - sometimes they are not portrayed fairly either and it's worthy of discussion to say so.
