How many sitcoms have you watched where the men are nothing more then lazy, fat and stupid? Especially if they are a father. They lie, constantly screw up, and are generally selfish. Have you noticed it in commercials? They are everywhere, particularly in any commercial that has a cleaning product, shopping, cooking, or food.
I know a lot of good men. And a lot of good fathers. The one common trait that they all have in common is thick skin. Not to say that they don't have emotions (they know well enough to hide them) but that they understand that in our society they stand alone. No one is there to help them and they'll hardly be praised.
The unfortunate fact is that women make up 80% of consumer spending. So most marketing of consumer goods is geared towards women. And boy do they know how to market. Sitcoms and commercials perpetuate each other like a flushing toilet of never ending misandric dung.
I was going to post this thread a while back, but didn't find the time. However, since a commercial I saw from the toilet paper "Angel Soft", I felt compelled to make sure I wrote this thread:
"Happy Father's Day, Mom"? This is a commercial that tells mom's how much they are appreciated, on Father's day! This was the tipping point for me as that day it seemed like every other social media post was "Happy Father's day to all the 'good' dads out there, and the moms that have to play both roles". Can you imagine something like that on Mother's day?! I cant. I'd be just as irate as I am now, and probably more. But no one bats an eyelash at this. (FYI: $21.2 billion was spent on Mother's day for 2015, while just $12.7 billion was spent on Father's day for gifts)
Angel Soft's ridiculous commercial;
This youtuber has a whole 22 part series called "Misandry in the Media" where he points out the double standards in how the sexes are portrayed in commercials. As he reiterates in his videos, "it's not that one commercial in itself is wrong, but that so many commercials portray men as idiots".
YouTube Channel: Vinnie Mac
Here is one of his videos. Take it with a grain of salt, he has made so many of these that his anger becomes more obvious with each video.
Misandry in the Media, Part 14
I've grown tired of misandry that is praised throughout society. Women on Tumblr posting "I drink male tears", or always hearing feminist shout "all men are rapists".
I've felt it, That awkward moment when your walking down an empty hallway and a woman is walking towards you, (God forbid it's dark) Your guilty until proven innocent. Or the snark look when you don't hold a door, or being ignored and denied a simple thank you when you do.
Chivalry is dead because misandry is thriving. I know I stopped holding doors open, except for the elderly, or adults with kids. A young woman, forget it. I'm not going to waste my time. More men are going MGTOW and living for themselves, and I don't blame them.

Here are some of the best MGTOW contributors on youtube. Some excellent videos;
Thinking Ape
barbarossa
Monkey
Spetsnaz
Spetsnaz is hard hitting; here is one of his videos, "The Disposable Male". It shines a bright light on the perspective of males in society, their disposability, and female privilege as a result. He says some harsh truths that are tough for a lot of men (and maybe women) to hear. He starts speaking at about :40

I'm no victim. We all make our own lives. You sir appear to be in fear of women and the media and need someone to blame. maybe I'm wrong, you appear that way. Me, my family, my children, my business, my extended family....none of us are being harmed by this supposed misandry. It does not exist. Not be afraid. Live your life.

then you never experienced what it's like to go through a divorce. never had your children taken from you because you don't have a vagina. never had your home taken away from you and half of your income for 20+ years taken from you. never had your retirement ripped in half and taken from you.
your belief in misandry is not required for it to be real.

Noone is talking about being a victim, just that everything is being targeted and being made much more difficult on PURPOSE and you think it is all too be taken in stride.
Grow yourself a pair and allow yourself to realize we do not need this garbage controlling every facet of society, you likely think you are above it lol.
The deniers are the ones I visit who think the constant battle is somehow what should be, and the harder the better, right ?
Oh, and tell us all how the children are unaffected and the entire outcomes of EVERYTHING are not altered by all the varieties of crap spewed at us, we don't need your opinions.
Why is it, that you are programmed to believe that as long as you somehow survive your wars that everything is ok ???
Growing a pair, a REAL pair means doing something about dam near everything, PREPARE.
