Something that REALLY pisses me off
Relatively minor compared to other troubles, but this was the shortest and most interesting rant i felt i could convey.
The advert on TV just now :
"Women. Does your man have an erection problem? Call this number now, and we can all get through this together."
WHAT THE ****? No, seriously. If a guy has an erection problem, then thats ****ing shit, poor bastard. Obviously the womans interest is either a/ Shes not being Sexually satisfied b/ Shes not being provided with Seed to give birth to a child.
However
The sheer Arrogance and collective idiocy by addressing this sort of advert at women rather than men infuriates me. I cant even see the ****ing point - what, men are meant to be too stupid or stubborn to call a number? If thats the case, why is a nagging bitch going to make you change your mind about getting your pecker seen to? If anything youd let it stay limp just to spite her for making you feel "yey high" by bringing up the fact your manhood doesnt work.
I mean, imagine if this advert came on tv.
"Sup guys. Does your girlfriend suffer from Bad PMS? Tired of putting up with her emotional crap? Good news! Give her this lotion and her PMS symptoms will gradually decrease over time, and she'll still be randy enough 29/31 days a month to help you get your leg over!"
Outrage. Understandably so of course, but when you stack it from a "male dominance" position, it suddenly becomes controversial and unsufferable.
I absolutely despise the differences in perceptions between the sexes - another Example - Channel 4 ( i think ? ) is doing a show "Psycho wife" or something. Its about some Woman who married 3 men, killed 2, and tried to kill the other one. She was cold blooded, and dated, married etc solely to gain their trust, then shed go psycho from nowhere and try and kill them. What music does Channel 4 play to this? Space - Female Of The Species (Great work sound director, you picked a song that had "female" and "deadly" in it. I mean, we'll forget the tone or tempo of the song, or anything but the one line that you want to hear but hey why the **** not you get paid anyway). Again, imagine if this was a guy who lured women in and then killed them / assaulted them out the blue. I dont think theyd play "I hope you die" by the Bloodhound Gang or something happy and tongue in cheek.
Two words,
Britain ****ing sucks.

Re: Something that REALLY pisses me off
Im a tad tired of men being stereotyped as stupid and ignorant on TV. If you look at the workplace men do a better job (as a poor yet valid example - Look at who won the first two 'the apprentice' shows both in US and UK........yes thats right.....a bloke....and the top 5 contestants were all men or a majority of men) yet we are continually ridiculed for whatever stupid societal reasons here in the UK. This politically correct anti-men bs grates on me too.
Fundmanentally though im not too bothered about women working more hours. Seriously guys....if women want to bust their ass to feed a family. Die young and suffer from heart attacks and stress related problems then let them. Eventually we can sit at home and do jack shit watching tv and ironing once in awhile.
Itll be great!
Until theres a war.....because guess who has to take up the slack then eh?

I disagree.
Doing the household work is much more than just ironing, especially if you have several children, so just sitting back wont really work, on the other hand, working 9-10 hours per day is wearing you down aswell.
Some sort of sollution where both parents spend and equal amount of time in the office and an equal amount of time at home with the children should make everyone happy.

Re: Something that REALLY pisses me off
i don't know, if they were wearing a t shirt, or even a shirt that wasn't tucked in i wouldn't be able to see so i wouldn't care... but i think that the whole shirt/trousers without a belt thing looks stupid

Re: Something that REALLY pisses me off
You are aware that whilst you may not like or agree with the tone of the advert it is essentially correct in it's target audience.
Men don't do doctors. They just don't, they'll "grin and bare it", they'll "shrug it off", and in the case of anything to do with their masculine standing, they'll never mention it to a soul if they can help it.
who do you think spots testicular cancer first in the average british male (not many of you lot here are average btw)? now who do you think spots breast cancer? If your answer wasn't Women in both cases, well... unlucky you missed the point of these adverts.

Re: Something that REALLY pisses me off
If some girl came up to me with some kind of medicine or some shit I'd be like hey shut it bitch and then I'd throw her medicine in the toilet and flush it then I'd throw her on the bed and go BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU GET, A LOT OF WOMEN GET LESS THAN THIS then i'd show her how i can get it up and she'd be all woahs then I'd be all ;D and she'd be all ;( and that would be another domestic dispute settled fairly

Check out the Freaking Cool thread. This might suggest the proper way to react to someone who comes to you to suggest viagra, cialis or the like. Just make believe she's a leopard.

Re: Something that REALLY pisses me off
It didnt really piss me off, just shocked me at the bluntness, and it coming as the first advert just after big brother started, got us kinda confused....

Re: Something that REALLY pisses me off
Shall I tell you what pisses me off?
People.
In general people piss me off.
Shall I be more specific?
Let us read what Deffeh has written. Let us re-read it. Now let us think about what he has written. Well I didn't need to think about it. He is right. Focussing viagra/similar adverts on women is ****ing retarded.
RETARDED.
Equally aiming adverts for sanitary towels at men would be idiotic.
'Hey guys does your woman bleed from the vagina once a month? Do you often find it leaking onto the bed sheets. Fear not because now with new Vagina Bandages Ultra Super with Wings shaped to fit, cotton feel and almost invisible™ you will never have to have blood smeared all over your bed again!!!!!!!!!
I don't think so.
So thus far I have gathered that Deffeh does not piss me off.
Hmm.
What does piss me off?
Something that does tend to annoy me is people, or let us be more specific, women who call themselves feminists. Feminists. What does this actually mean? The womens movement if we must refer to it as that has achieved a great many things. Votes for women is one major example. But now what seems to have happened is that women instead of realising that equality (in opportunity) is the goal, wish to claim that women are 'better' than men. It's ****ing retarded, and frankly if people would stop thinking about each other as subsets of the population this wouldn't happen. Women. Men. Muslims. Blacks. Gays. THEY ARE ALL ****ING PEOPLE. (Well some of them may still be virgins that's not for me to know).
I view people as individuals. I do not expect that every female will be able to carry out every role, every job. People need to learn their own capabilities. What I do believe is that every person should realise their own capabilities and move themselves forward appropriately.
The upshot of all this is that instead of women being portrayed as housewives, as cleaners, as mothers, women are portrayed as strong individuals
The downshot is that in turn the portrayal of men has changed. Instead of being shown as the breadwinners, the leaders, the important ones, men have jokes made about them, and are shown as having weaknesses. I don't view this as positive. I don't view it as negative. If people can make 'your mom' jokes or take the piss out of their wife/whoever then why shouldn't there be 'your dad' jokes? It doesn't mean anything.
IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING
As soon as spasticated ****wits start realising that what the media says doesn't necessarily go then the sooner I can stop having to make posts like this.
The media tells me that I should be a skinny blonde, preferably with big tits, wear makeup and a miniskirt. Well part of the media tells me that anyway. I ignore it.
JJ I am trying desperately desperately hard not to go down the route of personal insults here but you do, in fact, come across, yet again, as a complete and utter moron in your post.
It's TV. Who cares how they stereotype you?? It's not real!
Yes the politically correct stuff is bullshit. But why let it bother you? Really? If you know it's bullshit then rise above it.
As for your latter 'points' I am not going to answer it's pointless. In war there is no taking the slack. There is no slack, and I shouldn't have to tell you that.

I don't get PMT. It's made up by women as an excuse to be bitchy for a few days per month. I am like this all the time, I don't need an excuse.

Re: Something that REALLY pisses me off
The thing that really pisses me off is insurance companies. more specifically, car insurance companies. JUST BECAUSE I'M A MALE IT DOESN'T MEAN I WILL DRIVE LIKE A SHIT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE'S A WOMAN IT DOESN'T MEAN SHE SHOULD AUTOMATICALY PAY £500 LESS FOR HER INSURANCE THAN I SHOULD YOU COCK SUCKING WANKERS.
if that's not sexism, i don't know what is. also my nose and ears are peeling because i got burnt last sunday

Feminism has been all downhill since the SCUM Manifesto, bitches need to shut the hell up and make some pie.

IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING
As soon as spasticated ****wits start realising that what the media says doesn't necessarily go then the sooner I can stop having to make posts like this.

The media plays a key role in forming people's perceptions and prejudices. You cant just 'ignore' a popular stereotype, since it will normally steadily work its way into the cultural consciousness and hence into the minds of people you interact with on a day to day basis (not to mention the legal system). The Western view of masculinity has changed drastically over the last 50 years, almost entirely for the worse.

No, but I can think about it rationally, realise it's bollocks and then ignore it. And by ignore it obviously I don't mean pretend it doesn't exist. That would be almost impossible given the number of people around me who buy into media bullshit without bothering to consider the truth behind it. Basically it comes back to 'don't believe everything you read in the papers' or more pertinently these days, don't believe everything you see on TV. Too many people do.

And THAT is the problem. Yesterday I was watching some talkshow (perhaps Jay Leno) and during the commercial break there were ads for THREE! "modelshows", Top Model 4, Sports Illustrated model hunt etc.
THREE! In the same commercial block.
It is very unlikely that it wont affect people. I don't know how many or in what way, but it will have som kind and degree of impact on both girls and guys.

Yes the politically correct stuff is bullshit. But why let it bother you? Really? If you know it's bullshit then rise above it.
As for your latter 'points' I am not going to answer it's pointless. In war there is no taking the slack. There is no slack, and I shouldn't have to tell you that.

I left it awhile until i posted a reply. The post i wrote was intended to 'inflame' certain views. My mum is a housewife and i know damn well that she doesnt have an easy job. As for the rest of the post : TV doesnt necessarily annoy me that much. Admittedly i too am tired of the constant 'man bashing' that TV exectuvies and marketing folk seem to enjoy but what annoys me far far more is the fact that the feminist movement has made things like 'salesman' or 'chairman' a politically incorrect term to use. Having to watch what i say etc is somewhat irritating. The fact that when it gets down to it men have to fight the wars was merely 'banter' as opposed to what i actual think. Its a shame you cant see my face when i write. Youd realise that you just tried to shoot something that didnt actually exist :-((((
As for the 'TV Doesnt matter' thing. TV does matter. It has helped to shape societal conciousness now for over 30 years. What we see and view on TV and the ideas that are blasted at us through its lovely little colour screen have huge impacts on most peoples lives. If TV day in day out said XXXX was a bad thing id bet a fair proportion of people would believe it regarldess of its validity. (Look at the american media and Iraq for example)
By claiming the media have no real impact or should not have any impact on society your entire post kind of falls apart. The Media is one of (if not THE) most important part of modern culture and opinion forming in modern times. You might not believe it but that doesnt mean that the vast majority of people do.
Now get back to the kitchen bitch and make me some pie.

Re: Something that REALLY pisses me off
Heres the low down DJ :
Deffeh is pissed at marketing execs who have it 'in' for men with their silly 'man bashing'
Everyone agrees to a certain degree. Thread decends into usual level of anarchy and off topic posting. Then sarina highlights the problems of PMT (thanks for pointing it out manson !)
Then we go back on track a little bit.
Then back off track.
Then you post.
The main point that everyone was trying to get across is that women should be in the kitchen cooking pie.
