    No more dumb old dad: Changing the bumbling father stereotype


    Article here. Excerpt:
    'There's a movement under way among dads in America that's changing what you see on TV.
    Across the country, more and more are fed up -- and rising up against the stereotype of the inept, clueless father. "We're not the Peter Griffin or the Homer Simpson that we're often portrayed as," said Kevin Metzger, who runs the Dadvocate blog.

    Could be a sign.
    Greed is for amateurs.
    Knowledge without wisdom is a load of books on the back of an ass.
    Scorn and mockery towards men in need is one of the reasons feminism is dying as we speak!.

    Re: No more dumb old dad: Changing the bumbling father stereotype

    The good thing about men has always been that they don't take themselves too seriously..
    I started out an optimist, but nothing turned out right..
    Then I became a pessimist, but thats a life of shite..
    I sucked at being a realist, 'cos folks will always fight..
    So now I'm saying "fuck this shit!" I'd rather sleep at night!!

    True and haven't the femeroids had a jolly old time exploiting mens good and generous nature over the years, the trouble is when "banter" becomes a one way street it stops being "banter" and becomes institutionalized misandry

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.
    Wife : "I dreamt they were auctioning off dicks. The big ones went for ten dollars and the thick ones went for twenty dollars."
    Husband : "How about the ones like mine?"
    Wife : "Those they gave away."
    Husband : "I had a dream too...I dreamt they were auctioning off pussy. The pretty ones went for a thousand dollars, and the little tight ones went for two thousand."
    Wife : "And how much for the ones like mine?"
    Husband : "That's where they held the auction."

    Maybe therein lies the answer..

    What was it about men that they wilted and quit taking the rip out of silly women?

    THAT is the problem!

    As any joker knows, there are hardly any female comedians, and they wonder why?

    We're still here mate, in exile in the nether regions of internetsville, no one listens to us anymore because they don't like us, we're out of fashion, yesterdays men, but fashion is cyclical and we will return.

    Are returning.

    The msm, academia, government etc were seduced and overwhelmed by humorless Marxist infiltrators and their tortured ideas on fairness and equality, blindsided and converted (corrupted) by a sleight of hand, the peoples own sense of fair play and decency used against them.

    Yes, it is a positive sign. The only reason the Madison avenue types listen to men is because the Dads and men are threatening their clients revenue streams. If you want to push change, hit 'em in the wallet. Huggies made the big mistake of casting Dads as bumbling idiots that would leave their kids in soiled diapers for hours. That assumption at misandric humor turned around and shit on them with the concerted effort of Blogging Dads who had enough.

    Men are slowly waking up and have had enough of misandry dressed up as humor. We are slowly gaining ground. Now all we need to do is to keep the momentum up.

    I guess I should say my dad was more of a parent than my mother was. I can't related to the dumb dad.
