#10 on the list (one of my favorite of those commercials by the way), could easily be grouped into the same category as the huggies ad. Men can't change diapers and teenage girls talk on phones, obsess about boys, and cant drive. Both complete generalizations.
#1 on the list insinuates women are worse drivers than men.
How is this huggies commercial any different?
Exactly. Because the commercial in itself isnt offense. I have changed plenty of diapers (and I dont have a kid) and Im just not seeing how this commercial is demeaning men as a class.
EDIT: OK, I do agree that this makes fun of fathers by implying they arent experts at caring for their children (in the terms of changing diapers and what not). But I would not consider it demeaning to men as whole. It takes a stereotype and uses it as a lighthearted source of comedy. Some insecure men just got their man-vags tickled the wrong way.
