You're trying to minimize by asserting that it's retarded to point these things out. Feminists make similar complaints though.
The same video game for example can feature half naked men, and half naked women, but they only get upset about the women. They then make the non-argument that "The male instances are just male fantasy!" as if only men fantasize about being attractive. As if all those women who buy skimpy outfits, buy weight loss porgrams and undergo plastic surgery have no desire to be attractive. I can tell you this, I don't think it's a very common male fantasy for guys to walk around in loin cloths.
They complain about women being killed in movies, comic books, films, etc. Any time a woman is killed, no matter the reason, it's bad. They claim she's being "fridged" if anyone mourns her loss. If no one mourns her loss, then they get upset and claim she's being written off as disposable and unimportant.
Meanwhile male characters are killed by the thousands every day, and they see nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with the endless faceless mooks in the black masks getting murdered. It's hypocritical.
And it's been consistent for decades. I would say the 90's were the most equitable in this regard. There were as many smart men as smart women, but as far back as the Flintstones the common set up was fat, ugly, stupid men with schemes that blow up in their face because they're outsmarted by beautiful, in shape, strong women who are always the voice of reason.
The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Brave, King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond, in any sitcom with a married couple the father is fat, lazy and stupid, and the mother is pretty and the voice of reason. Even UP which has a heart-breaking opening follows this trope. The wife is strong and in shape and beautiful and wants to go on adventurers, and the husband knows his place and is afraid of her and keeps quiet until after she's died. This is all they've produced for the past decade. Kim Possible, Atomic Betty, The Replacements, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Sidekick, it's a consistent set up. Girls are always right, pretty, smart and strong, and guys are ugly bumbling oafs.
Same thing in action movies for the last decade. Even though most of them don't even make back the money, they have pushed that premise so hard. Aeon Flux, Serenity, the Resident Evil movies, Salt, Kill Bill, Sucker Punch, Colombiana. Now it would be one thing if there was a great demand for movies featuring skinny, petite women with no figures kicking ass, but at the same time these movies put forward the idea that it's okay for women to be tough, dominant, aggressive and kick ass, feminists are repeatedly suggesting it's bad for men to exhibit these SAME behaviors.
Now for the record, I've never been to any MRA site, I'm not a loveshy. If however you don't really believe any of the things you say here and are just trying really hard to troll (Hi Yasmin) please prove it by asserting I'm one of those things instead of specifically addressing what I've said.
