I understand this comedy trope may still be a popular formula. But when you look at how many examples of this there are (I ran across about 30 online) you have to think, is this based on someone? Are men depicted this way because we are seen this way?

I could care less how Network TV, Hollywood, or even society sees us, but we should care what God sees us. Are you a man of God?
