“The Ugly Truth” or The Ugly Stereotype?

I saw a commercial for the new film "The Ugly Truth " yesterday.  Starring Katherine Heigl and the dreamy Gerard Butler," the film seems to be of of the "Men are bumbling idiots who think only with the head in their pants" genre — just check out the poster for it.

Yeah, yeah, I know… men have up to 20 times more testosterone than women which leads to differences in sex drives , yadda, yadda, but unbelievably, there are men who do have healthy levels of testosterone and yet have still managed to avoid devolving into cousin-humping rabbits.  It’s important to remember that sexism, in all its forms, hurts us all, men included.
