A positive image of males is back. Just take a look at the commercials.
Last night's SuperBowl ads were clear: gone is the stupid, foolish Homer Simpson male image. Moving forward, we will see a more positive male image. The trend has been happening for about a year now in television commercials.
This happened 100 years ago, of course. In 1900 the typical male image in magazine ads was passive, stupid, dependent on the female, just like the last 10 or so years of Homer Simpson-ish portrayals. But around 1910 that began to change, and by the 1920's men were strong and assertive. And so were women. We've moving back towards a win-win gender image, thank goodness.
