As I channel surf...
...I occasionally read what it says about the movies on Lifetime. I would certainly never watch anything on that hideously and overtly sexist trash of a channel anymore than I would drink a warm glass of olive oil. For the life of me, I cannot imagine why more men don't complain about that channel. If they had a channel that showcased a nightly evil black lesbian as some sort of murderer, cheater or embezzler, every professional mouthpiece in the country would protest on their pathtic behalfs. Men are quickly becoming the last truly acceptable object of bigotry in our society.
I don't understand why they don't do what every other minority has done since the feminists perfected professional whining during their heyday of the late 60's and early 70's. Organize, organize, organize.
Unfortunately, organizing men all over the country "in numbers too big to ignore", would mean meetings and for most men, unless there are naked women and free beer, there won't be any meeting attendance with any degree of regularity. And, since most men are dependent on a person with boobs for their sexual satisfaction, they aren't getting to these meetings if they did have naked women and free beer. The women have utilized a massive operation to keep men from organizing and regaining any bit of their once mighty power as the master of their own domains. What a shame.
As powerful as the all mighty boob laden may be, I implore you men to stand up and start fighting like the men that you are. Demand that channels like O and Lifetime occasionally show a few Alan Alda movies and maybe some Father Knows Best reruns. Demand equal time for the decent members of your little organization. If you don't, well, I just wouldn't want to say.
Change doesn't always occur rapidly but momentum gathers anyway and the change continues. People with power want to have more power and must push the envelop further all the time to guarantee their own continued importance and professional survival. The way men are being perceived and advertised as dastardly people who must be guarded against, it's hard to say where the current momentum will stop. Will all men become beasts of burden as our great granddaughters have become desensitized to the feelings of man over the next few generations as new and improved television networks that feature some man who brutalizes his wife, her mother and the family dog become more and more prevalent? Jokes in their own households? Easily replaced by other women and battery operated items that can be found in far too many panty drawers across the nation?
Gentlemen, a mere 100 years ago you ruled the family with an iron fist. You changed the world in far too many ways to even contemplate over the past century. You've gone to the moon and even landed a camera on Mars. Somehow, while you were over accomplishing all of these things, you let the power that you once wielded trickle away along with far too much of your respect. After giving it due consideration, I've decided that your only hope is the internet. You can't get out of the house to go to enough meetings to spread the word. Only the internet is far reaching enough for you guys to organize and do what the women have been doing so well for decades, centuries and even millennium; bitch, moan and whine until you get you way. You can do it, I have faith.
