Men and Women in Popular Culture

Notes for future discussion:

men and women and how they are portrayed in popular culture.

The Stupid, Clumsy Husband and the Intelligent, Caring Wife.
(quite a change from the Father Knows Best image with which we gorged ourselves in the 50's, eh wot?!)

examples:
Everybody Loves Raymond
Home Improvement


it's even in our kids' cartoons
Fairly Odd Parents (both the fairies AND Timmy's parents)
Danny Phantom

And it ABOUNDS in the e-mail jokes we send around to ourselves.

I'm going to post this for further thought, but will revise at later dates with more examples as they happen upon my brain.

(or maybe I should just ask my wife, eh? I bet she'd be intelligent, capable one!)
