The American Media and the Exploitation of Men
Men?s rights in the media are deliberately ignored today on TV and in the newspapers. Men have a social obligation to get married, have children, and support the family by going to work eight hours a day. Not many people think that men don?t have these obligations in life.
Warren Farrell it talks about how men?s expectations are unfair in the world today in the article ?Men as Success Objects? by (page 185). Intentions for marriage have changed over the last millennium. From personal fulfillment, relationship, to love both men and women have their reasons for getting married. But with marriage there?s sometimes a divorce that comes with it, which has increased during the years. Because media focus on the women?s rights, most people don?t understand the sexism directed against men. The idea ?men are jerks? is thought by women which have dominated the media. Along with fighting the degrading advertisements on the TV, men also have to live up to the obligation of bringing home a salary. Women marry men who are successful or have ?potential? to make money in the world today. There are only a small percentage of men who will marry a woman because of her ?potential?. More people need to recognize the unequal treatment men get these days.
In the article ?Marriage, Horror, and Susan Reimer,? the author expresses his disgust for the idea of marriage and having children. The woman Susan Reimer represents every American woman who thinks that no one is good enough for her. Every ?Susan? says that they despise men, yet they want to get married and have babies. These kinds of women will rape men in divorce courts, which should convince men to avoid them. Marriage can also do permanent financial damage to men, which is why being single is not a bad idea in these times. Men should always think twice about having children. From bad schooling to divorce can have permanent damage on a child. Despite what women say, having children should not be a priority. Because of the women?s attitudes towards men today in America, it is recommended to find a wife somewhere overseas.
Both of the texts have a strong point on men?s rights, and the perception on what women really want out of men. The authors would probably agree that men are being treated unfairly compared to women these days. They would also agree that there are too many outrageous obligations men have to fulfill in order to be socially accepted by men and women in America. The man who wrote about Susan shows a little more hatred towards women than Farrell, especially when he says, ?In America marriage is a grievous error.? Farrell actually shows a little apathy towards women when he went back in history and told how women?s rights were violated.
These authors both explain the hardships men have to go through because of the obligations they have to live up to. Not only the women but also the media should take the blame for the unequal rights some men are given. Men?s rights are not covered by the media is because the subject can be contradicting, and can cause a lot of anger and chaos in America.
