So I record the Steve Harvey Show,,, this past week was extreme week. He had an episode on stupid men...  Now I know they were idiots, and cant believe, they what they did...QUESTIONS.... on public humiliation...Why is it that women can make fun of men who do something stupid,, but if we make fun of something stupid a women does, we are dead?or Is it that we are expecting for women to do stupid things all the time?or Are we just used to their stupidity? NOW,,, on a rare chance we ever do anything stupid,, we are required to make it up to you.... why not the same for you females to make it up to us????? JUST ASKING!!!!  http://steveharveytv.com/episodes/men-are-stupid-extreme-edition/ 4951

Part of the reason is that women were considered the "little woman" or "fair sex" or other semi-derogatory terms for a long time.  If you look at commercials or ads from the 60s and before, women were treated in those ads as the cook, housekeeper, mother, and sometimes love mate, but usually in a very simple or even silly light.  After the initial period of women's liberation, Advertising agencies could no longer make the woman look "silly", but it was open-season on men.  Since then, you rarely ever see an ad where a woman is the silly one.  It seems like it's almost always the men that look ridiculous.  People constantly see this in print and on TV, so they now think it's OK to make fun of men and/or humiliate them in public.  Granted, there are some men that truly deserve to be made fun of, but not in public.I used to love Steve Harvey.  But after I watched a couple of his shows, I realized that he's playing to his audience (primarily women).  For instance, his comments that it wasn't a woman's responsibility to impress a man, it was the man's responsibility to impress the woman (in a dating situation).  In reality, both sides are trying to impress the other.  It's this kind of pandering that's the reason I don't watch his show any longer.Edited:  It was not only ads/commercials that made women look silly.  TV programs and movies often made the woman look like a simpleton or all emotions and no brains.  They wouldn't dare do that now unless it was so ridiculous that it is obviously a comedic parody (such as Sofia Vergara in Modern Family).  AND to offset her, they have the even dumber Phil Dunphy character.  4951

I don't care if someone makes fun me. Usually I'm laughing at myself anyway. Idk why people take life so seriously. Who gives a rat's behind what someone thinks of me, or women in general? The only reason someone would seriously have an issue with the opposite sex, color, religion, whatever, is because they are insecure, feel the need to make others as miserable as they are, and can therefore beep* off.
