Is it equality, or tyrrany?

Women spent many years to help women at large to be treated as equals to men.  However, somewhere along the way, society went in the opposite direction, and now quite often equality just isn't enough.  Quite often we see examples of where women didn't want to be equal with men... they wanted to be bigger and better then men and squash them into the dirt!  And why?  Why fight for equality between the sexes for so long, to then turn around and become the one you were originally pointing the finger at?

Even in the media, relationships between men and women are not balanced.  We quite often see a doltish husband, who couldn't make it trough the rest of his life unless there was a woman to tell him what to do, where and how to do it, and when the right time to do it was.  These TV husbands seem endearing, almost in the way a new puppy is when you are trying to train it.  Women band together in little groups and gossip about the negatives of their husbands with each other, roll their eyes and placate their husbands with knowing smiles and a sarcastic 'yes, of course dear, what ever you think, dear'.  When did men become the puppet, whose strings were pulled by the wife in order to give the impression of life in the body and intelligence in the speech?

Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a joke.  Nothing wrong with being lighthearted about a relationship or marriage.  Nothing wrong with a knowing smile between women every now and then.  But to constantly portray men as dolts who couldn't change a light bulb to save their life, ultimately changes the perception of healthy husband/wife dynamics, and how we should treat each other.  If it was the other way around, women would be up in arms around the world.  People would say that it was 'sexist', saying how disgusting it was to portray women, men and marriages in this fashion.  They would say that women are just as capable as men in doing anything they wanted or needed to, they would strike, boycott ~ they'd call the nearest news station and make their thoughts known on national television.

But yet its all entertainment when men are the puppies, and the wives are their handlers.  Equality?  I'm not so sure.
