Mad Men sure are angry at women.
Advertising execs unleashed their fury Sunday night, one lady-hating Super Bowl commercial at a time.
From Bridgestone tires to Dodge cars to Bud Light, it was bros vs. hos on the boob tube, with ads depicting women as spine-stealing nags.

It’s VERY obvious the homosexuals are in charge of most ads....

I consider myself a feminist, but I KNOW what you mean.
Feminists that demand that all women think/believe as they are told have ruined it for the rest of us.
“Feminism has done more damage to the American society than it will ever admit.
Bingo.
A big part of that damage is that it has made so many women blind to the disparity.”
I didn't see any women getting getting slapped or tazzed!
Damn! I thought you were single.
LOL!!
I was...I got married to FREEPer MNJohnnie in July!
;-)
BINGO
and/or metrosexuals who admire men who love men and secretly want to hang out with them instead of their “sex-in-the city” wannabe girlfriends and wives
Amen! I don’t like shows that portray a bald stupid dofus married to an intelligent beautiful woman who is always bailing him out of trouble. My husband is intelligent handsome and well spoken and he can hold his own when it comes to a disagreement with me. If those women on tv were so smart they wouldn’t have married those men.
Thats funny. Of course I am not a liberal feminists nazi and I can take a joke. Of course I prefer to be pregnant and barefoot and in the kitchen. :)
Dear Lauren:
Drop the two last name crap, get a MALE for a “husband” and stroll quietly back into the kitchen to get him a beer.
And just about every woman is depicted as a chocolate-craving, diet-obsessed, laxative-using shrew who is constantly cleaning, sniffing laundry, and yes, eating yogurt. Spare me this notion that women get the upper hand in marketing. They don’t. Both genders are slammed - each in their own, “special” way.

? I was in tears watching some of these commercials because of the rampant sexualization and objectification of women during the superbowl ads.
The whole 3 hour show was a testiment to male dominance over women that harkened back to the days of beer commercials showing bikini clad women dancing around with no mind of their own.
I'm struggling trying to write this now because my eyes are tearing up thinking back to it. It was traumatic not just because of how badly women were treated, but because I watched with my children a boy and a girl and had to explain to them after they laughed at some of these commercials why they were rude. Against our better judgement we watched the entire game. And I love football, but had to excuse myself from the room for some of the commercials.
I kept reading thinking I'd run across something that would prove the reply was sarcastic, but no...I think Lynne is deadly serious! "In tears" from commercials. "In tears" writing days later about the commercials! Good freakin' grief!
She needs a real man. Hopefully he will be a doctor that can prescribe her some good meds.
Don’t forget that cereal ad where the idiot husband is being verbally de-balled because he suggested she was eating that cereal in order to lose weight.
“The box says ‘Shut up, Steve’”.
Reminds me of an old joke: A new group of male applicants had just arrived in heaven. Saint Peter looked them over and ordered, "All men who were henpecked on earth, please step to the left; all those who were bosses in their own home, step to the right."
The line quickly formed on the left. Only one man stepped to the right. Peter looked at the frail little man standing by himself and inquired, "What makes you think you belong on that side?" Without hesitation, the meek little man explained, "Because this is where my wife told me to stand."
This is true of movies also. The woman is oft times(most of the time)portrayed as the hero, physically capable of beating the biggest white male to death in single combat, smarter, faster, stronger and just all around superior to any male.
She’s from Newton. That is all you need to know. One time I was in Newton and saw a bumper sticker that read “Equality to a man? Why lower myself.”
“She needs a real man. Hopefully he will be a doctor that can prescribe her some good meds.”
I can’t find a definitive bio on the lady, but I found this interesting-

I was talking about the woman writing the article. I was talking about the commenter that wrote she was crying days later about the sexist commercials. Sorry for the confusion. The writer’s daughter is just lovely!
I could never get it when the movies portray a small woman as physically stronger than a huge man. I am not a small woman. I am 5ft 9 and I am strong. My husband is only a couple of inches taller than me. He can best me in any match of sparring. When we play wrestle, I can not get away from him.
His unbelievable strength against my weakness is a comfort to me. He protects me. It always makes me realize though that I would be defenseless against a man that did not have my best interests at heart. That is why I have a gun. :)
