Completely agree. With a twist: you SHOULD feel "comfy" as a man. What other people think about you is their problem, not yours. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness, remember?
The constitution doesn't say "except if you're a man!"
Yes, there's a lot of brainwashing out there in the media.
Part of the problem is probably the fact that women basically "hold the strings to the purse" in the average household -- well basically 85% of the consumer money is in women's hands (can't remember where I read this figure, but there is a strong bias). Thus, high-rating shows with their high-paid commercial space, are geared towards female audiences. Left unchecked over a large number of years, a small bias at first turned into the ugly picture that we see today. Double standards abound.
Plus, a good woman knows and appreciates a good man. A good woman is happy when a man is a man! So I'd also say: stop complaining! Be a man! Regardless of what people will say about you. That's what I do, and I couldn't be happier (I'd also suggest reading Steve's
post about being a man).
Now, if only we could get some tens or hundreds of millions of people not to trust TV shows so much... I've seen too many of them trusting the tube, and personally I've come to realize that everything on TV is agenda-driven. So I never watch it anymore.
