SNL

This week I saw a Saturday Night Live skit about two sons playing a Wii game with their father that made them look like they were masturbating. The Men have to shake the Wii controller up and down to beat the game and when they do they hold it between their legs so it looks like they are pleasuring themselves. Then the mother comes down to see what they are doing and the father says that she would be a “natural,” at it. The entire skit is implying that men have dirty minds and are concerned with masturbating all the time. It shows that not only male children like to pleasure themselves but so do adult males. It makes it seem like it’s something that all guys do all the time and that they are just concerned with sex. It’s not a game about how a woman pleasures herself it’s a game about how a guy pleasures himself so it is a definite shot at males. The skit kind of demoralizes women right at the end when it shows the mother playing the game. The father tells his boys that she should be a pro at it implying that she does it all the time (pleasures him). Now that I think about the skit it is pretty disgusting but when I first saw it I thought it was pretty funny.
