Hey! You're Sexist!

I'm so sick of the blatantly sexist attitude with which tv producers treat men. We're constantly portrayed as pigs, complete idiots, power-hungry businessmen, complete idiots, heartless thugs, and complete idiots. Examples: Ray Barone, Tim Taylor, George Costanza, Cosmo Kramer, Michael J. Fox's character in Spin City, Charlie Sheen's character in... pretty much every project he's ever worked on. They're all that way. And what about that show on VH1, "Kept," the whole premise of which is to chronicle Jerry Hall's search for a boy-toy? It's disgraceful. If VH1 tried to air a show called "Arm Candy," about Donald Trump's search for a woman whose only purpose was to... um... satisfy him, feminist groups across the country would be burning bras and marching on Washington faster than you could say "bull dyke." Sorry, but it really pisses me off. I'm lobbying for the fair and equal treatment of men, of which we have been deprived as long as tv has existed. No, it's not "making up for all the years of oppression." It's just sexist, and I want it to stop. Either that, or I want to see a show about women who forget their anniversaries, have major car accidents, work as homemakers, and have mid-life crises. That's real, people. Not this "lovable idiot husband" crap you see everywhere.

I don't care what anyone says, keeping women where they belonged did not qualify as oppression.
