The Negative Portrayal of Fathers in Media
The negative portrayal of fathers in media started in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution when fathers were taken out of the home. Media began to depict fathers as irrelevant and incompetent, reinforcing the stereotype that they were bumbling idiots. This perception was further fueled by the absence of fathers in children's lives, leading to wild behavior and behavioral problems. This negative image of fathers has persisted over time and is still prevalent in sitcoms and kids programming today.
