Novemer 24

Today I was watching TV and I saw this commercial. I thought that this commercial was a perfect example of how women are still perceived as the weaker sex. In this commercial the woman has a problem and she just whines about it. She complains about it in this tragedy but never does something about it. The man on the other hand complains about it for a little, goes into the house and does something to fix it. When the man rescues the woman from her dilemma she becomes extremely happy and grateful for the wonderful manly job that he did. She’s the damsel in distress and he’s the night in shining armor. Before this assignment I probably wouldn’t have noticed the roles that these characters play. However, this commercial stuck with me and really bothered me.
