Today, I was looking through a website called Dumb Men and I noticed that it was about different type of Stereotypes of Men. For those that don't know what stereotypes are, stereotypes it's a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group: such as ALL blondes are dumb or ALL men are strong.
The website Dumb Men was all about stereotypes of men in advertising. It provided several times of commercials and videos of the typical men. For example, there was a commercial of a guy trying to decorate the bathroom with tiles since the stereotype is that men can build and consruct home improvement projects but he failed.This meant, that stupid men can't construct home improvement projects. There was also another commercial about the dad cooking hambuger patties, they are so easy to make and he can't even get that right. Those were only two of the many commercials a watched but these to were the ones that caught my attention the most.
I really enjoyed watching the first video that I talked about because it was intresting. Typically need know how to do all the buliding and construction but then again that's only a stereotype bcause that's how it usually is but that's not always the circumstance. His commercial is meant for the guys that aren't good with constructing home improvement projects and how it makes them look stupid. The mood of this video seems serious yet funny.
I watched the ones you talked about too!! I didn't use them but its true men are steotyped that they should know how to fix and build things. Yet the truth is that more and more men are losing that ability and women are having to do it themselves.
