Has any man here ever noticed that....

As a woman, and not a feminist I presume, do you think that this will have a negative impact on the upcoming generation of males.
What I mean to say is that if we ever need another Patton, I don't think he will be a "metrosexual".
This subject of strong and dominant men is almost as taboo as talking frankly about race and class.
The white male is the only "one" the media can make fun of. Every one else is politically incorrect. Specifically it is the red neck, a safe form of humor.
There is a book "The Red Neck Manifesto" covers much of this territory.

You people consume way too much popular media.
EXactly. All this 'woe is the white male' whining is very revealing. I've seen commercials make fun of black males and even Asian males. I recall the Philly Cream Cheese ads making fun of a dumb blond (female). It all boils down to the individual filter you view these things through. Too many ETers see only what they want to see.
As for white male heroes in dramas always being cads of some sort, that's the biggest load of bullshit yet. Obviously AAA has never seen Criminal Minds, Criminal Intent, The Mentalist, any of the CSIs ... the list goes on and on.
There's definitely a "plaintiff wail" of the "poor white man" going on. My belief is the most of it fueled by the populist right wing-media. It's an easy crutch... and many will latch on it with great enthusiasm.
yes, I think it will have a negative impact on both, males AND females....if I had kids (boy or girl) I wouldn't want them to watch it... a young girl watching these things will think she's supposed to be the "man" in the family.
To me it really looks like they're trying to push the gender role reversal, the traditional family roles are being overthrown...in a couple years most of us will think this is normal, since most people are consumed with media.
