A commercial has the same impact on a woman as a man.
The power you want has consequences.
You are already a lost cause.
There are probably other men who are capable of thought still who can see more sense than you, so don't you worry I am not really talking to YOU.
I'm merely addressing you as a man who thinks the stupid things that occassionally will pass through some mens minds and therefore I am addressing you as being a two-dimensional aspect of cultural male dominance brain-washing.
Clothing isn't the end of the World. It never will be. Nor is the fact that women avoid a man who shows signs of being unstable, angry and incapable of thinking that their views are important or worth anything. Strange, women showing enough sense to avoid a man who makes his disgust, views on their diminished capacity, spits on their interests, and demands complete agreement on what is important in society and their lives, is angry, and promotes ideals of violent revolution on a personal level. I just cannot IMAGINE why women aren't flocking to you.

The entire premise, is the usage of mass media to brainwash women into thinking that "Society" (What they see on TV) has certain expectations regarding specific types of behavior, thought processes, and goals.
(This process is called Social Cuing, learning the expectations of society by watching "Society", which in this case, is a fake and scripted version of society.)
So, by telling women that "Society" expects women to marry and reproduce with those who are completely subservient to the goals of the Elite (what your television tells you) they can effectively influence womens reproductive drives (generally speaking) to exclude the intelligent creative mind from the Mating game.

I think you are being offensive and thickheaded and of course, misogynistic. It's the usual here, men are the sad victims of an "effeminization" plot, and women and the elusive PTB are both in cahoots to create a giant mason jar of pickled nuts
If anything, persons like YOU and OP are the enemy because here we have hatred (or if you'd prefer for argument's sake dear, "animosity") towards women...
...leading to fear and resentment and probably a desire to inflict violence upon them for our assumed offenses.
I have acquaintances that are leading their families to financial ruin by digging credit holes due to their love of clothes and shoes and iPODs and whatever new crap came out last week at 12am on Wedensday.
So far as this social cuing, you think men are not affected by this crap too?
So, all women love fame and riches? Ha! Men put these sports stars and atheletes on a PEDESTAL, not women.
It's the men that have made these "stars" rich and powerful in the first place. Men buy the most tickets to games, sports gear, sports crap, etc and xyz.
I don't think you explained in any intelligent or coherent manner, nor provided evidence for your notion that the TV or media affects women's reproductive drives and excludes intelligent, creative minds from the mating "game".
You really aren't giving a generous portion of society and humankind (male and female) much credit at all.
Then to comment that women are defenseless and "useless", oh man you have some titanium alloy testicles don't you my friend?
Women are far more social than men, as women depend upon society to a much greater extent than men. (They are defenseless and for all intents and purposes, useless for a period of their pregnancy, they depend upon others during that time)
Well, maybe back in societies day and age where men acted lawlessly and without consequence, using their sheer force to overpower women...maybe. But one has to really consider the mental constitiution of such men. Are they your role models? In any case, our good friends at H&K, Browning, Glock and Smith and Wesson have equalized that gap, so don't let your Mad Max meets Conan the Barbarian fantasies after the heavily prophesized "SHTF" scenarios run too wild. You just might find yourself at the business end of some 104 lb. little lady's rifle, and she would probably be far less likely to take prisoners than a man because of her size.
Aaaaaand, a scientific study on the mating preferences of men and women (Hint: women prefer men who are better providers):

wait, if men are being feminized by chemicals in plastic and so forth, how is that the fault of women?
It's the usual here, men are the sad victims of an "effeminization" plot, and women and the elusive PTB are both in cahoots to create a giant mason jar of pickled nuts.
this is what i see going down!
men were given the responsibility to do XYZ.
women were given the responsibility to do ABC.
together they got things done.
then along came the rise of an increasingly sophisticated society, widespread education
and associated problems, global this and national that, technology
to do just about everything, and things started to change.
it's not the fault of the men and women on the planet.
it's something else, entirely. i haven't isolated it out completely but you can rest assured women are not the source of the problem and neither are men. you could say that together, we exacerbate some of the problems, but neither is the perpetrator, just the victims of the necessity.
the society dictates the necessity but something else sets the standard.
Men and Women are different. Go figure?

Lumping all woman together in the way you have is not only degrading, it's downright assinine.
