Ok, how are men, as a result of gender bias, negatively depicted in popular media?
I'm not saying it's not possible I'd just like to hear some examples.

How are women negatively depicted? Because they are attractive? In skimpy clothing? What are you referring to?
A woman that appears ditzy in the media? Because there are examples of all of those for men as well.

Women are negatively depicted because they are overly sexualized and depicted far too often only for their image.
There are far less examples of that in men. However, that is changing. There is a huge increase in male sexualiztion of late, which can be seen through increases in male fashion, cosmetics and objectificaiton.
I'm sure many of you older posters, never went through all the effort that young guys do now to put out an attractive image. With all of the body sprays, deoderant, cologns, body washes, aftershaves, hair products, etc. that many men use today. Even in the last few years, we can clearly see a huge expansion of male cosmetics.
We will see more and more sexualiztion of men as women become less and less reliant on males. With females making more of their own money, men will become objectified too.
Get used to seeing more half naked men, on you TVs and in magazines.
