I detest any portrayal of a married couple where one partner shames and embarasses the other. This type of emotional abuse is, unfortunately, all too common in many relationships. And it's NOT funny.

If you look at university level research, anything that could possibly show men have it worse than women, is simply disregarded!! It doesn't fit the women as victim script, women groups would march into the deans office!!! mike hunter…She can get her women as victim hysteria facts, and you can research some facts of youre own!!

A girl in my communications class is doing a presentation on how women are portrayed in the media. Her claim is that male advertisers portray women in a negative fashion. There will be a Q&A session and I would love to throw a monkey wrench into her presentation.
