I haven't seen the advert but the message to men seems to be quite clear. Next time you see a car broken down with a lone woman driver, just drive on.

Do you remember there motto on commercials used to be "Strong enough for a man but made for a women", you can bet these new commercials are a result of feminists complaining about the old ones. I'm sure some feminist somewhere saw the old commercials and thought how dare they imply a man could be stonger then a women in any way including odor. Now the motto is "strong enough for a women" and the commercials make men out to be idiots, that must be there penence for the horrible sexism in the old commercials.

Hmmm, in the commercial that I saw, the motto at the end was "Secret...Strong enough for the woman that already does everything." That is a LOT more harsh and condescending that the previous motto.

The singular of "women" is "woman."
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if we send off complaints that are grammatically wrong, they are that much less likely to be taken seriously.

All commercials follow a single rule: the female is superior. Whether we're talking traditionally female work (child care, housework, etc.) or traditionally male work (such as changing a tire) the woman is always portrayed as superior and the man as stupid and helpless. Apparently, women require constant stroking of their ego. Given that, it seems to me that the female sex, not the male sex, is the one with the over-inflated, yet fragile ego.

These commercials are helping in dividing people.
Men are less likely today to pull over and help a woman with car trouble. Many women are complaining because they have to help other women with disabled cars, while men watch disinterestedly.
In a society where women can do everything, and men are viewed as inept fools, men are less likely to be kind, courteous, a gentleman, to women that they encounter in the street.

Like I've said before, Unless it's a dire emergency, if I see a woman in "distress" I simply keep a-steppin'.
Something else about the older 'SECRET' commercials. I remember that when the guy would hear that it was "strong enough for a man (But made for a woman)" he says to the woman; "So we can BOTH use it!" To which the woman replies; "Nuh-uh 'Secret' is just for women" then she saunters off all supirior and happy as the man looks after her in defeat.
First of all, these commercials have always been stupid and anti-male. Secondly, I have always wondered one little thing... WHY WOULD ANY STRAIGHT MAN WANT TO USE A PERFUMED, FRAGANCED DEODORANT, IN THE FIRST PLACE?!!?

I DID use the "preview" button. (^_^)

Not all British commercials. Here there's one for a new weekly men's magazine called Nuts. It shows a woman trying to drill a hole in a wall. The drill goes everywhere and makes a complete mess, then the screen changes and says "WOMEN: Don't expect any help on a Thursday!". It then shows a man sat just behind her, reading Nuts.
It kind of bothers me that I don't find this as offensive as the anti-male ads... it's just as bad, really.

Perhaps your not offended by that ad because its a playfull humurous take on the real differances that exist between male and female in much the same way as a man shown fumbling in a female arena would be playfull and humurous.Which is very differant from the ad by Procter and Gamble.There was nothing playfull or humurous or real in that.
Feminists would have us beleive that to admit any differances is sexist,to show or point to them is demeaning and hostile.And its that hysterical irrational attempt to force society to ignore objective reality in favour of feminisms reformed view that needs to be fought not necessarily the commercials or television programs themselves.

Also not to mention that ads or commercials pokeing fun at females are VERY rare. so little to no damage is done. while on the other hand anti-male ads are constant and extreamly hateful, not PLAYFUL, at all. plus with the shere number of anti-male ads and commercials as well as TV shows, children have a huge access to them, especialy little boys. This is where most of the harm occurs.
I forgot to mention that, it takes alot of guts these days to do any "fun-pokeing" at women, considering the HUGE amount of trouble one could get in to.
Note, however, that there is NO trouble one can get into for pokeing fun at men. Even the most sadistic and hateful "fun-pokeing" is socialy and culturaly acceptable.
Nope, no double standards, here, are there?

The only thing that strikes out at me the most is that feminists love to show women as superior no matter what. Those commercials make the woman stronger, if a commercial shows a man's strength, it's his "widdwe pee pee man thingy" and it really bugs the hell out of me. Women are glamorized for being "strong" and "superior", it is a sign of "strength" and "liberation". If a man shows his strenth he is a minion of the patriarchy and a S.O.B.
