Just look at the "is your last name important to you" thread.
I must have read like 2 pages and not a single one of the posters answered yes, and many of them had something negative to say about their father.
So all in all, I think that the OP has it upside down. It isn't so much that English speaking media are trying to bring down "patriarchy" or whatever.
IMO this patriarchy is already down and the English-speaking man (from Anglo-Saxon culture) is simply the butt of all jokes.
Natural behavior, just like the weakling gets beaten up in the school yard.
You ll see this behavior way less from say, Slavic or Latin cultures, only because it wouldn't make as much sense since the men aren't as esmaculated.
