New male stereotypes have been prevalent in news, TV, films and advertisements. John Marsden is a best-selling author of Secret Men’s Business, he say “teenage boys are among the most maligned group in our society, the media portrays them as drug-crazed, unemployable, suicidal, failures at school or sex criminals.” This is a true statement of today’s TV stars as well, looking for a father as a role model on TV turned out to be harder then I thought.
