The female of the species…….

is more deadly than the male (and so much smarter) or so last night’s television would lead me to believe.

No wonder young men in Australia are having identity crises. Woolworths “Scone”, Foxtel, the GIO “couch/flood” insurance, ANZ Mor-t-gage and particularly the Weight Watchers commercials with others depict the male as without style, less than adequate and unable to make basic decisions without the superior input of the female.

The book “Spreading Misandry” clearly outlines how men in western society have become the objects of gentle (and not so gentle - see the cutaway looks from competetive females in the ANZ Mort-g-age Commercial) derision in the public and entertainment media. What are young adolescent males to look forward to? The constant mocking of their masculinity on a daily basis.

Thank goodness for Jeremy Clarkson and his ilk. With them it is fun to be a man and live life as it should be! More Top Gear Style Commercials please!
