Misandry and media

They wouldn't show those ads with the sexes switched because they are pandering to women, because it still *is* the case that women control the market for these products. That always will be the case, I think.

Women are major consumers, so that’s part of why they have many commercials of high quality products, since there’s a market for them. Of course, that manifested itself in the pink tax, but that only exists because many women choose the more expensive, higher quality option. Why don’t men do this as well? Because they put their long-term savings over pampering themselves, especially when their income isn’t just theirs (by the law’s standards). For career women, they also are faced with this challenge, contributing to the decline of women’s happiness (or the reason why so many women today do not feel as happy as ones did in the decades before them).

Feminists who complain about those ads about women are the only ones actually contributing to any of this, and that is why they’ve gotten away with it for so long. If enough people start to complain more about these ads, whether it be under the claim of sexism against men by portraying them that way or by not including women in that portrayal, something will eventually be done about it because the businesses will do all they can to appeal to the most amount of people. Women being portrayed that way is just unpopular, so we as consumers just have to make it popular.

Do feminists not also see these ads as portraying women too well to the point where they’re seen as perfect, therefore raising the bar of how women appear? Does it not appear to make women have to be that way, restricting them to just how they’re seen in these ads, rather than a variety of characteristics? Oh, but I forgot, feminists don’t actually care about women. They just pretend to so they can benefit from other people’s suffering.

Also, something to note: Italian and Irish men were treated just as poorly as black men often were in the past. Perhaps the extent of overall treatment of black people in the past was worse, but there were cases in which those aspects of suffering existed for Italians and Irishmen, including slavery (indentured servitude was a little better socially due to the idea that it would inevitably end, but that didn’t happen for the ones who died on the job, or by today’s standards, killed by beating and neglect), denial of work, lynchings, and other things that escape me.
