More Male-Bashing Ads

Thanks to an active readership, we've been able to track more anti-male portrayals in the media. Anna wrote in about a demeaning ad she saw in Parents Magazine, Dec. 2001 issue: "It's for Secret anti-perspirant for women. It reads.. "It's gentle. It's sensitive. It's strong...Men, take note." The "men take note" is in larger and bolder print. I wrote to Proctor and Gamble through their web site I will also write a hard copy." cheddah and bledso both wrote in about a new Norelco electric shaver ad on TV. It shows an entertainment center fall apart, presumably due to the man's incompetence at building it, and the announcer ends it with something along the lines of, "...because men can never do anything right." The Media Watch page has been updated accordingly.
