lol. You have just flipped the nutcase bit.

Alas no, you poor dear.

I’ve spent a rather horrid amount of my life flying across oceans or waiting to fly across oceans. At such times, CNN, or worse, CNN International, was the sole news source.

The go-to meme on CNN (and most any other media source), at least for two decades, defined male as “bad” and “female” as “good.” It comes in shades and variations, but that’s the basic meme.

Any given television advertisement will follow a variation of this meme, as well — stupid man, all-knowing mother/wife/sister saves the day with Product X.

Heck, our very estimed host on the website have written about this meme for the last 10 years.

You seem reasonably astute. I am surprised you haven’t noticed this yourself.

^ I have noticed this theme big time in the media. You just need to open up your eyes and look.

If this is actually a message coming from the media, it will be because they are corporations serving the wants of their viewers, or more importantly, their advertisers/sponsors.

But if you seriously believe there is a feminist message in telling women that if they consume product x they can be super moms you really need to go back to studying feminist theory! What you are describing is the tale of the Honeymooners and that was not created by women, and definitely not feminists.

There is no money in feminism and it makes zero sense for a profit driven entity to cater to feminists, when they are barely existent and are loathed by most Americans.

I’m a feminist.

This fucking video makes me so angry… thankfully I did a 2 a day with heavy deads and handstand pushups as the 2nd workout so i’m fucking toast… or else I’d throw my lap top across the room in my testosterone rage.

I’ve never wanted to hit someone before but this guy makes me want to beat the shit out of small children.

Note the definition of “feminism” I am using – the same one CNN uses — male = bad, female = good.

It has nothing to do with “feminsit theory” whatever that is.
