Family Guy Treatment against Women

Hello to all of the "frosty" bloggers out there, today I will be discussing the mistreatment against women in the cartoon show, Family Guy. In Family Guy, the character of Meg Griffin is treated like garbage and is always messed with by her family and even by other classmates that are jerks to her. Some actions done by Stewie, Peter, and Chris Griffin are calling Meg ugly and beating her up until she has a black eye or knocks out from all the pain she endures. These actions have caused Meg to feel like she's worthless and unable to have a social life without being bullied for being herself, so she tries so hard to get cool friends at her school that she is mistreated at the school for being a geek. Family Guy portrays women being useless and only for sexual desires or just for men to use them as play toys for their own personal amusement. Peter uses his wife, Lois, to do whatever he wants and Lois obeys his command showing that women are mere puppets to men in the show, which is outrageous. Is Family Guy trying to show their take on this gender segregation or are they showing how they think men should treat their wives or women? Maybe if men stopped being such jerks to women and women understood their role in society, maybe then we could have balanced roles where women can choose to do whatever they would like, as long as the men don't get in the way of them. Comment down below with your own take on the gender segregation shown in Seth Macfarlane cartoon shows and remember to Stay Frosty My Friends and I'll be back shortly.
