Great satire, but I have to quibble about including “listening to Rush” among those things we women do only to humor the menz. Rush frickin’ rawk.

So. I went home to New Orleans to watch the Superbowl because my Saints finally came marching in. (Some of us women are actual football fans!) And I saw those awful commercials, and I winced repeatedly into my beer. And then the 2nd half started, and the Saints owned it, and all my pain just vanished and the bar went nuts and the street erupted in joy and, well, you can see how it all went down on any number of YouTube videos.

Later that week, I returned to my husband in Boulder, and, as it happened, we had a small spousal conference about how shaving detritus covering the bathroom sink is a poor welcome home, all things considered. (I’m sure if he’d been the one to leave town, I’d have spaced something myself, and he’d need to complain. We take turns being the space cadet.)

“Sorry, I’ll clean it up,” says he.

“Thanks,” says I, “Understand, though, you’re not getting a flashy new Dodge for doing it.”

He rolled his eyes. “Oh God that commercial. That awful, sexist commercial.”

I love my husband so very much.

Billybob,

Then why are you wasting time here? Go do what the told you and prove what a man’s man you are! Go buy a Dodge!

And imagine what my fathers surprise will be when I let him know that he was wrong. REAL men don’t love and respect their families and friends. REAL men don’t fight for equality and respect opinions. REAL men aren’t afraid to say, “hey that’s not funny that’s actually kind of mean.”

Apparently REAL men just need to buy Dodge!

But billybob, I thought football was a sport for women! After all, there are all of those big, muscular men in really tight pants. Why would you watch football if not to check out the tight end’s ass? Oh, my poor lady-brain! I’m so confused!

Hi BillyBob! Are your spelling mistakes part of the satire? They make your comments extra hilarious! You have a real way with words!

no it isn’t satire. the whole thing over this superbowl commercial, that aparantly offended a buch of “man-sports watching”, man-bashing, angry and bitter feminists…is just ludricous. If this is all it takes to form some freaky “girl power” revenge group, over a lights hearted commercial aimed at football watching men….then you’s really are a sad pathetic bunch. i amigine that “spoof’ won’t sent to many men their way…too bad…back to the LARGE dildo’s I guess..

Billybob, I have approved your comment in order to ask: is this comment satire?

Because it isn’t very good.

So according to the Dodge ad, their ideal male customer does not throw his underwear in the hamper or care to recycle? Guess they are selling to 50-plus losers still living in 1963 and residing in someone´s basement. Super Bowl ads do make me feel sorry for men…what a bunch of Walter Mitties.

SarahMC said, “My solution is not to marry immature louts but that’s not the point.” I think it sort of is the whole point. There is so much pressure from all sides to get married, and there are way too many immature louts out there, for it to end up any other way. For a lot of women, it is either “settle for the one who will marry you” or “suffer the consequences of being an old maid,” and the latter is too much for them to handle. I am a very successful professional woman, but an unsettling number of people in my life were way happier about my recent engagement than they were about my recent law school scholarship. This is not a new sentiment, but I just wish more women could see the importance of being able to get along without a partner. It goes beyond cliche to say that you have to love yourself first, but it is still true. Sigh. I wish I had a good solution (other than not marrying the immature louts at all, thereby giving them a reason to shape up).
