From a review I just read of the garbage film Think Like a Man, based on Steve Harvey's garbage book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: "[The film is based on] comedian Steve Harvey's Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, an advice tome that would be sexist except for the fact that it treats men like simple mutts in need of training."
Ha ha whoooooooooooooops that is very sexist! Treating both women and men like total garbage by relying on tired stereotypes that aspire to be gender essentialist claptap does not magically make something "not sexist" by virtue of the faux parity of false equivalence. It is merely an easily observable example of how the Patriarchy takes a rather dim view of most men, too.
Hey, you know who actually doesn't regard men as dogs, babies, or nincompoops, but instead respects their agency and capacity to rise above kyriarchal socialization...?
If you said "man-hating feminists," give yourself 1,000 points!
