\n\tAs Bill Maher<\/a> wrapped up his 700th episode of Real Time<\/a><\/em>, he obtained on his soapbox to mourn the supposed lack of masculinity in media.<\/p>\n \n\tDuring Friday\u2019s \u2018New Rules\u2019 section, the comic launched right into a rant about manhood and blamed movie and tv\u2019s \u201cendless parade of eye-roll, short-bus dads\u201d for Democrats shedding the election.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cLet\u2019s make the Father\u2019s Day we just celebrated the last one that takes place in a culture where dads have become such punching bags, literally the last demographic group that TV, ads and movies can still depict as clueless, useless dipshits, basically just another child mom has to look after,\u201d he launched into his sermon. <\/p>\n \n\tHe blamed the 1987 comedy Three Men and a Baby<\/em> for the decline of masculinity in tradition, and wish so far as to hyperlink sitcoms<\/a> like Married with Children<\/em>, The Simpsons<\/em>, Modern Family<\/em> and Malcolm within the Middle<\/em>, in addition to the Apple TV+ sequence Your Friends and Neighbors<\/em>, to the rebellion of figures like convicted rapist and intercourse trafficker Andrew Tate<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cAnd I get it, that this is a correction to centuries of women being deemed the weaker sex,\u201d added Maher. \u201cBut how long does the correction last? And when will men stop making me throw up in my mouth with the way pander so negatively?\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAfter taking some jabs at Cleopatra, Hillary Clinton and Marie Antoinette to help his level, Maher continued, \u201cBesides being historically naive, this cringey pandering is why teenage boys flock to jerks like Andrew Tate.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cYes, he\u2019s a huge asshole,\u201d he mentioned, noting Tate\u2019s crimes and big following as a self-proclaimed misogynist. \u201cAnd your kid thinks he\u2019s cool. Because that\u2019s the choice of role models the American teenage boy has, either performative pussy-hood or the man-osphere. Jesus, can\u2019t the pendulum ever land in the middle in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMaher concluded, \u201cI\u2019m just saying; men, we\u2019re not completely useless. So, if you want to know what to get dad next Father\u2019s Day, how about a little respect?\u201d<\/p>\n
