Arghh!!! When you stream from HULU, I can't see the video (I'm not in the USA!!!!!).
I couldn't see the Christmas video with Johnny Depp and Mariah Carey either.
I really want to see it.

Catherine, you can go over to feministing (www.feministing.com) and they've got most of these up today and I don't think they're sourced from hulu. Even if they are, feministing has transcripts attached so you can get fired up in print. Freaking disgusting.

Darn it, Catherine! I'm sorry about that...

Crystal, I want to give you a hug. And possibly a drink.

Crystal!!!! OMG Girl ,did you hit the nail on the head!!! LOL!!!

Wow. I guess no one is bitter.

Love it Crystal!

Oh, Crystal..you are so on it..love the part about the finger under the covers. and I really needed a laugh after those videos. Cavemen - all of them. Sick bastards.

so sorry I forgot to thank Melanie, too. Perfect & poised response to those ads. My kinda girl.

Okay...
I agree. The Superbowl ads were over-the-top degrading and demeaning. I was offended. I AM offended.
But, even though these ads did a really bad job of trying to take back a man's place in the world, I understand what they were trying to do.
Look back over the past 20 years of popular fiction, movies, sit-coms, commercials, even news stories. Over those years a common theme has emerged: MEN ARE STUPID IDIOTS (and we women must surely save them from themselves). I don't know whether this was meant to be part of the "feminist agenda" or not, but it has become part of everyday life to slam down men every chance there is. I get the need for equal pay for equal work, and equal opportunity to advance our careers. I also get the need for men to take on an equal share of responsibility when it comes to the household and parenting.

But first and foremost, there is a need for REAL men. Of which there are very few these days...thanks to 20 (or more) years of beating them down into the MEN ARE STUPID IDIOTS hole.

No, the Superbowl ads won't bring them back either, (speaking of stupid idiots), but I can't say I fully blame the men for trying to fight back a little. JMO

Here's what doubly pisses me off: most of those are offensive to MEN, too.

So, in summation: these ads are offensive to the entirety of humanity. Now let's go buy some tires.

Not sure why those stereotypes are funny to some, but this guy, me, loves women, well, my wife, and is a house husband up trying to make that 5am breakfast etc, and figures women get the short end of the stick: lots of great women on earth, lots of azzhole men. Kinda makes a progressive want to move to Sweden or somewhere more enlightened than here....

Men don't like to go bra shopping? Since when? I thought anything that was even remotely related to boobs was a good thing. And those scented candles? Bet they turn up when the girl puts on a bra fashion show for the guy later. You don't think a guy would be thinking "New sexy bras and candles? Guess who's getting some tonight!"

RIght on Crystal. As someone who does not watch a lot of tv but did watch the superbowl, I was APALLED at the BLATANT sexism in those commercials. I know which companies will not be getting my business going forward. Vote with your wallet!

I wonder. Do women who buy into the myth that men make more than women (and that it's because we live in a patriarchal society) ever do any of their own research to see if it's true? There have been some very credible studies done that have shown that there are valid reasons why men make more money in most instances, that women are not as bad off in the workplace as the gender feminists would have everyone believe. It's a much more complex issue than simply "Men make more than women, therefore, men must be oppressing women." It would be really nice if women started doing more research into the feminist propaganda that gets passed around.

Also, thanks Jennifer, for bringing up an incredibly important point. I hear feminists go off the deep end every single year over the super-bowl ads, (a premium advertising space that is specifically geared towards men) but when ads like these come out, which are played for the rest of the year (especially # 6 ug...)

All you hear is crickets.

And you know...as terrible as stereotypes are, sometimes they exist for a reason. Have any of you listened to the way women talk to their husbands lately? Or talk to their girlfriends about their husbands? Maybe the guys are getting fed up with women who are controlling, manipulative and nagging.

HAHA I thought that Dodge ad was freaking hilarious! I know men who have allowed their women to cut their balls off, and I feel for the poor bastards! Eating quiche, shopping for bras, and listening to "feelings" have completely emasculated the men in America today! I'm sorry, but I want a MAN, not a freaking cream puff.

What kind of world do we live in when a man can be "emasculated" by removing his socks, being considerate of the person he lives with, and/or eating egg dishes?

I'm concerned about what the whole debate is saying, about us in general, as a civilization, frankly.

Thoughtful post Melanie and funny comment Crystal.

But oh my, Tired of Misandry seems to have a chip on her shoulder when it comes to feminists. Usually those types are either very young or evangelical or worshippers of Fox News. Facts are facts. It's what we do, despite the facts, that make a difference. I, for one, don't let the facts keep me from succeeding. But it doesn't mean it isn't so.

Totally agree with *tired of misandry*.....and I am too.

@feminist born in the 50's...you're right, I do have a serious chip on my shoulder when it comes to feminism. A well earned one. There's a huge difference between fighting for equality, and doing everything in your power to eliminate gender all together, by demonizing femininity and masculinity both. Make all the rude assumptions about me you want (which will totally make me change my position btw.), but the results of 30 years of women being taught that they have to be strong and competent to the exclusion of all else, and that men are the devil are becoming more and more self evident.

And interestingly, those "facts" have been debunked by Dr. Warren Farrell in his book "Why Men Make More Money." Interestingly, Dr. Farrell was also elected as head of the board of directors of N.O.W. three times.

but the results of 30 years of women being taught that they have to be strong and competent to the exclusion of all else, and that men are the devil

I guess I must have missed this "lesson" - and I came of age during the late 60s and 70s in the era of Kate Millet and Betty Friedan. Nowhere in my education have I ever felt that this was the feminist message. It would be instructive if you could provide an example of a single feminist of status - anyone - claiming this.

Also, since you cite your well-earned reason to dislike feminism, perhaps you could explain your experience. It would add to the discussion.

Melanie - Excellent post and point taken! I didn't see many of the Superbowl commercials (except those cute talking baby eTrade ones) I was busy dragging my husband around the neighborhood, leash around his balls, of course.

Crystal - Excellent reply! You were reading my thoughts, only better. I was thinking of concluding, "For all this I will get.....to drive the family mini-van." Seriously, there needs to be a woman counterpoint on that commercial - which mini-van manufacturer has the guts to run it?

Why is it that men run the world? We have the power. Really.
