Glen Poole on the depiction of fathers in adverts
About this forum
This is an example of one thread - Feminism - which has recently been turned into its own subforum. Thus we are currently breaking that very interesting, but very long, thread into sub-discussions where appropriate. This will leave the original thread with a lot of views while the new threads will apparently have fewer. They'll begin to catch up though.

Glen Poole on the depiction of fathers in adverts

There's an interesting article in the Telegraph today by Glen Poole. I've never heard of him before but his article relates to something we have discussed here: the tendency of advertisers to depict men as idiots, especially husbands and fathers who are shown being over-shadowed and out-done by their wives. Poole suggests that this "fad" is approaching its end, thanks to public complaints to the advertisers.
