feministing.com joins us in condemning anti-male stereotypes: "it’s so sad that the stereotype of the inept man-child embodied in so many a Judd Apatow movie and Superbowl commercial has become such a key part of modern masculinity that this kind of frame even works as a ironic joke."

Okay, first off call me a bit skeptical that Demi or Ashton actually do their own laundry. I tend to think the scene depicted in that video is what actually happens.

Second feministing only needs about.. oh I don't know... 1000 more similar articles to begin to balance the other male-shaming/misandrist ones?

Finally let's not forget the context here as well - Demi/Ashton is a cougar/cub relationship, the very type that men are viciously attacked/shamed for doing the equivalent to. There is more than one way to "buy a girl", the rich & powerful should know that all too well.

At least they are right about one thing - this type of thing (usually pushed by feminists) - is just more propaganda and attempts to demonize men.

It’s a campaign that seems perfectly designed to do little more than make people feel good about themselves.

As usual, feminists are totally blind to the other side of the problem. Yes, they are designed to make men feel good about themselves for not buying child prostitutes - but they are also probably quite efficient at making men feel bad about being men in the first place.

It's a good thing Feministing condemns anti-male stereotypes. Can you imagine how hypocritical it would be for them to refer to men as "useless hunks of flesh?"

Wow, feminisms doing a lot of back peddling these days..

If you look you will see that PAS is promoting the same falsified data that feminists groups used to shut down the adult sex trade on craigs list.

MY time on a certain.... rival website to feministing has caused me to a side of the members of feministing that makes me ignore everything that comes from there...

It's amazing how two sides of the same oin can both be wrong...
