It is hard to understand where they are going with the characters. Boys and girls, watch everything, from real life, adverts, sitcoms,etc, it gives them some behaviourial code reference points. Feminism as equality. But often men are shown as weak, pathetic, shallow, stupid, in ads, because they believe that women control the money, in relationships. I'm sure they are not portraying positive role models if men become 'infantile' when in a relationship. If the wife has to take on a mother role, turn off! Unfortunately if your favourite character gets cast as the jester, however wrongly(we know Howard is great at practical application, the others couldn't even open his toolbox!), it's hard to break free of that. What was the whole point of the 3D printer scenario? They did make a joke about goods from China!
