That's Enough Out Of You!

I've been feeding this blog for over two years now. I think the evidence speaks for itself - there is an all-out War On Men. And yet, I continue to be stunned by absolute anger and disrespect aimed at men.

Progressive Insurance is the B2 bomber fleet in the War On Men. They have made multiple appearances in this blog. And they keep getting more and more transparent about their view of males. Check out this video:
Pay attention at 24 seconds in. "That's enough out of you" shrieks Flo. Yes, the male in the commercial is spouting terribly misogynistic stereotypes... that were written for him by the ad agency. Just like "All In The Family" and "M*A*S*H" in the 70s, the behavior of the characters is carefully crafted to communicate the bias of writer, or in Progressive's case, the bias of the company. Simply put, based on the body of evidence offered, Progressive Insurance despises men.

Do you have Progressive Insurance? Do you agree than men are bullying bigots / limp wimps / idiots? No? Then why are you still with Progressive? If you're in the Kansas City area, let me give you an alternative. Call my friends, Scott and Sara Coffman at AHI Insurance Group. Whether you're a male or female, they'll treat you with respect, help you find some great insurance, and give you personal service second to none.

And if this is your first visit to War On Men, scan through the posts below and see how consistently Progressive declares War On Men.
