Why do so many commercials show men in a negative light?

Seems more and more ads are showing men in less than positive roles in the home. Seen as inept and needy when in actuality we cook, clean, and take care of the home quite well. While some men choose not to do this, it seems the media lumps us altogether. Real men wash clothes and dishes and mop the floor, etc. It seems the media does that well: showing people in a negative light.

    Because women are big spenders.

    I think this is done because they seem to think females might find it cute when men are portrayed that way. This has been going on for a while. It's just one more reason to watch commercials.

    More people can relate to the negative than the positive. Also, it is sometimes funny and catches peoples attention.
