Is the media becoming too gynocentric and hateful towards men?


Recently, AskMen.com has posted the Top 10 Worst Male-Bashing commercials. Commercials are increasing portraying men as dumb, incompetant and henpecked in order to appeal to the growing demographic of single and divorced women in their 30's. Men and husbands on television shows are portrayed as either dumb oafs who require rescuing from their wives or daughters, psychos, or gay.

I've noticed an increase in men who are portrayed as dumb and lazy over the decades, but I don't consider it gynocentric. Women have often been portrayed poorly over the decades, and I would consider this trend to be more an "equalization" than anything else.
