Did you see that DiGiorno commercial awhile back, the one where the blonde says, "It's not delivery, it's Di...Di...it's French?"
Count me in as another woman tired of dumb, male-bashing ads, tho.
Is that a TV program? Have never seen it. I take it by the line of your comments that it is a gal-bashing show. Maybe you could enlighten.
If you're going to participate in a free-for-all online discussion forum, I suggest you keep a dictionary handy. Look up the word "sarcasm." You quoted me accurately. I said "men as a class." I responded in agreement to a post claiming that men "as a class" have less influence than hispanics. The truth of this is borne out in the myriad hispanic branches and organizations within both major political parties. Not one single "Men's Caucus" anywhere to be found. And before you go of on me about all the politicians being men, you nit picked the figures, but you failed to explain away their basis in fact. As I said, there's no point in going tit-for-tat on problems, but you can't claim that men benefit politically or are all somehow living the life of Reily because president have always had a set (OK, except for Jimmy Carter).
Women overwhelmingly elected Bill Clinton. Women almost ushered algore into the presidency... "Missed it by that much. Ironically, it's a good bet that the hispanics in Florida, still hot under the collar from the Elian fiasco, sent George Bush over the top.
I'd say more, but I have a 16 month old boy on my lap who wants to hear "Fish Heads" again.
Nonsensical parody that portrays Boy Scouts as pornography addicted purse snatchers and alcoholics. To be honest, I don't know anybody over sixteen who watches except for the part at the end where girls jump on trampolines - and then only while they flip though the channels to see what else is on.
(L_Candide)Get over it. I grew up in a time when "The He-Man's Woman Hating Club" sign hung on more than one tree house in just about every neighborhood. The way it was - the way it always will be, except now, girls are speaking up.
Im surprised that you dont see the difference between child on child behavior and adult sponsored belittlement of boys. What you speak of was little (immature) boys posting the The He-Mans Woman Hating club signs they devised and posted. The same was true of little girls with their girls only clicks of childhood. But now adults are funding, printing, and distributing tee-shirts attacking little boys. Cant you discern and see the difference between immature child to child behavior and adult sanctioned messages 'dis'-ing boys?
Not that EITHER is right, but cripes...is it really that big a deal?
When little boys are subjected to these kind of messages from adults it does take a toll on them. Pick up the book The War Against Boys : How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men and do some reading of researched information on the subject.
I remember the Taco Bell Chihuahua ads featured on the evening news since a Hispanic group was angry about it. I didnt hear of any follow-up on the story so the ad campaign may of just ran its course like you point out. Thanks for the clarification.

Anyone can come up with an ad that bashes someone - no talent needed there. PACTIV ought to look for a marketing company that has creativity and get some value for their advertising money.
ah, okay. :-)
Wait, how about I watch Martha Stewart Living instead, would that work?
EdEquity Mail List. This is what teachers are doing to boys and saying about boys when they think no one is watching.
Hmmm, let's see
Anybody who grew up in that era must be a septigenarian. I'm pretty sure that those signs had their origin in the "Little Rascals" movie shorts featuring Spanky and Our Gang.
Feuding between boys and girls is used to be a normal right of passage as kids asserted their identities. Today, for boys, it's been criminalized by feminist inspired laws, and made punishable by expulsion and possible arrest from kindergarten forward.
