I have no use for feminists, and a lot of the time women in general irritate me. Yes, I said it-—so much for the sisterhood. I’ve seen enough of men portrayed as bumbling fools to know it’s a very real fact, and I hate it.

Preach it, sister!

I HATE TV sitcoms where the husband/father is treated like and acts like the bumbling moron who can't get anything right while the wives and children mock them and roll their eyes at them.

And it's treated like a big joke.

Yep, and I'm not laughing.

I've seen this treatment of men in local commercials, too. There's one here for a salvage yard that will pay you for any old cars you have and tow them away. The commercial shows the man, a simple-minded bumbler, of course, dreaming about restoring the old wreck in the yard. His wife, with a tolerant-but-mildly-contemptuous air, informs him that will not be happening.

She calls the salvage people, and they give the husband some cash and tow the car. The wife snatches the money out of his hand and walks away, and he runs behind her, waving his arms like a child.
