I was watching TV with my family and AT&T had an advertisement selling cellular business phone contracts. There were four business women asking the sales woman question after question to see if they were getting a good deal and finally one woman said:"good terms, low cost, Let's Close!!" all the women crossed their arms at the same time, and made a pose! There was one man in this business group who only listened and then when the women crossed their arms, he tried to copy them and look like them. My Dad immediately said: "That ad was sexist! The advertisers purposely made the man in the group look stupid. Four very powerful women and one stupid man." It was interesting to see his reaction, because he usually doesn't make comments like that. I think the "on purpose" part frustrated him. Why can't equality be enough, without putting down the opposite sex.

I love it... Why can't equality be enough (for anyone) without having to "rise above" and start putting people down?!?!
