The sitcom dad thing is a legit thought. Dont need to be a right wing weirdo to think that. (although constantly bitching would be weird)

What am I missing?


Dignified Rube and RPB = match.

No.

Anyway, are you saying the TV Bumbling Dad trope doesn't exist or that it doesn't matter or what?


It very much exists and it doesn't matter. If someone is bitching about it in the sense of being lazy writing I get that. But to suggest that there need to be more positive depictions of white men in popular culture is fucking laughable.

Alright then

I think there's a lot of truth to the friendzone thing. Not sure I've ever heard of a woman complaining about it. It's just another way of belittling a woman because she won't fuck you.

Its not a mean thing. Its a term to describe the very common situation where a (usually) teenage boy has a crush on his female friend and she sees him as a friend.


Ive never thought of it in the angry way some describe here or that it belittles the women.

Ex. Sir and Cheryl Scott- the man is usually happy simply being allowed in the presence of the woman

The term didn't really exist when we were growing up, but the concept clearly existed.

Shakespeare wrote plays about the friendzone by other names.


My childhood zone experience was limited to the Twilight Zone.


It's good that it was, real good. And it's just a real good day.
