you don't relize the sarcasm in this video. the video is actually making a point here that the ads tageting women can be just as sexist to men as they are to women. She acts sarcastc in all of the videos. These videos ar all about how wome and even sometimes men are exploited by the media and stereo typed.

she doesn't make fun of men or women. she's being sarcastic, you idiot.

The commercials don't put woman in leadership roles, it puts them in domestic roles. "men are to stupid cook or clean therefore woman must do it " is the basic message.

I'm sorry, wasn't the Glade Sense & Spray on the end table when he threw the bag? So why is dancing like a fool in front of the bookcase?

Lesbo Alert!

Her argument was based off what she saw in the commercial, and the commercial showed the husband hunched on the lawn, herbicide bottle STILL in his hand, surrounded by dead grass patches. The problem then is not that her argument was flawed, but that the commercial was flawed...

I like how the woman learns how her extremely clumsy huband will work around explosives, and instead of convincing him to not take the job, she instead searches online for life insurance... XD

I don't think you know what 'misogynistic' means.

I didn't realize it before, but a lot of commercials do this. This implies that a man can't function at housework. I used to have to vacuum the retail store I worked at and I know how to do other chores. It’s not that hard. It’s really insulting to be told that as a guy, you can’t do house work, even if it is a subtle message in a commercial.

It's sexist towards both. It's implying that men are idiots that can't do anything right (which is sexist towards men), and implying that it's a women's duty to happily babysit her idiot husband (which is sexist towards women).

Either way, it's playing to stupid stereotypes.

[Lynn Turman]

Yeah but he's an idiot husband so he doesn't know that.
