Ask McFartnuggets: “How Come on TV Commercials the Husband Is Always Ugly and the Wife is Hot?”

It doesn't take much for a woman
to look better than a man.

Dear McFartnuggets: 

It seems like in nearly every commercial with a husband and wife the husband is always an average looking dude and the wife is hot. Sometimes the wife isn’t even hot, but she’s always a lot better looking than the husband. Why do they do this? -- Nancy from Dover, Delaware

Dear Nancy:

It’s because people can handle seeing an average ugly guy on TV, but not an average ugly woman. The general population is so sexist that they see an ugly guy on TV and view him as an average everyman and when they see an ugly woman they think, “Why is this freak on TV? How did they think this was a good idea? I don’t need to see this!” Because women are treated as pieces of art and sexual objects, when we see one that isn’t impressive, it’s disturbing. An ugly man with personality can become a great TV personality, but women don’t yet have that right on a widespread level. It’s a sad unfortunate thing that still exists in today’s society and it needs to change if we ever hope to achieve true gender equality.
