We should not denigrate men. Why did you get that from my post about 
Starship Troopers? I said that it was quite different because it 
portrayed women as equal to men. It had a ton of strong male roles ---
 Juan Rico, Professor Ratzchek (spelling not very good), Zim, Carl, 
especially....

I'm afraid I don't watch commercials so I can't comment, but I don't
support generalizations or stereotypes of any kind.
