Yes, I'm sick of the male-denigrating, father-bashing stereotypes used ad nauseum by our liberal friends in the entertainment media. I don't watch their crap -- and most of all I don't respect these bigots and hypocrits.

Perhaps programs like this are causing the condition discussed in this NYT article:[http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/22/busines s/media/22ADCO.html?ex=1067486400&en=82f335c3c62ca ef9&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE]

I am tired of commercials and TV shows showing males as either the hero (that helps out the communicty) or the moron/villain.
Check out a book called "Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Males in Populat Culture." The author cites many examples and goes into detail about the media turns the public against its males by frequently portraying them as either the villain or "inadequate".

On the other side of the coin, I recently watched in passing an episode of one of the new Law & Order spinoffs in which a son in custody for murdering his father many years previous finally breaks down and reveals that it was his mother who terrorized the household and in the end bludgeoned her husband to death with a fire poker.
I've noticed that the Law & Order series, while it too has its share of "poor, victimized women" stories, isn't afraid to show the dark side of femininity.
However, it saddens me that one of my favourite shows, Crime Scene Investigations, is sliding toward the "evil men killing innocent women" theme, perhaps to attract more female viewers to the shows.

This is why I stopped watching CSI: Miami. I recently had nothing else to watch on Monday night, so I watched it. It was about an evil male tennis instructor for teenagers. CSI caught him with a 14 year old girl. It turns out that she is 16 and Florida law allows consentual sex between 16 year old and up to 25 year olds. You could see it in the CSI guys face that he still thought the guy was evil, the law be damned. But CSI was determined to pin something on this guy. So they found a young girl that he had previouslly killed.
I will not watch CSI: Miami again. Now I am still watching CSI because I just like to see the sights in Las Vegas.

Yeah, every episode of CSI, with the exception of one, seems to focus on the evil, perverted, or very stupid males.
The one being an episode where a girl had one to a reform school type of place to visit a friend in the late hours of the night, was kicked out by another girl and eventually found murdered. After awhile, you find out her mother had been prostituting her out to vicariously live a star's life through her daughter, which drove her to run about in the woods at night, fall, smash her head and die.
People question the validity of pointing to the bad women of society, saying then feminists/etc, have as much right to point out horrible men. But when you have, lemme see, 10 stories of bad men as compared to 1 of a bad woman, sometimes you need to point them out LOUDLY.

Actually it was "Cold Case," from the producers of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." I haven't yet written to CBS to thank them for reminding us that not all DV consists of men beating up or killing women. Kudos to them! I'm sure, however, that some feminists want us to belive, "only in Hollywood."

I would be sick of it if I watched TV. I have not watched prime time NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, or WB in so long I can't remember the last show I regularly saw... Star Trek Deep Space Nine maybe. Even on the channels I do watch there is some of this sort of BS... but I just avoid those programs.
