Anyone cathc the Tyra Banks "Womanizer" episode?

[Mr. Me]

In principle, it's no different then the Tyra show where she dressed up in a fat suit and secretly videotaped how guys didn't treat her like she was a hottie. In effect, she's taking normal male behavior and showing it as if it's a negative. Now, what women will cheer on a topic like that do you suppose? And since the majority of sit at home daytime TV watchers are women who can identify with that, it makes them feel righteous and good. Where's the show with the secretly taped fat slob of a couch potato husband and how women treat them unfairly?

If she had a show all about how awesome it is to be a glamorous sexy Victoria's Secret model earning tons of money and the adoration of men worldwide, with all its perks and celebrity, and how it's all good, they'd bring in some female shrink as a guest panelist to dissect the poor girl's low self esteem and need for such extreme measures in her life, and an ex pornographer turned women's advocate to shrill how such models only foster anorexia in women trying to be what they see portrayed in the media. And that won't happen unless Tyra renounces her past career. So I don't think you'll ever see that show. You'll see it on Oprah, though.

Speaking of the alleged tendency for women to become bulimic and anorexic because of the unreal standards of beauty held out by the media to which women feel so under pressure to attain, if that were truly the case, we wouldn't have so many overweight women in this country, would we?

I have no opinion on this subject, without further reflection, but here is a four minute clip of the "Womanizer" episode:

(And STR8UP, in another thread you said women have pea-sized brains. My opinion for Tyra has always been it's a hydrogen molecule.)

That's exactly it. Women take normal male behavior that is part of the natural order to balance things out and then women actively try to demonize it and discard it. The effect it has on males and the whole male/female dynamic is enormous. And as you pointed out, this show and women in general never present how their behavior is also far from perfect and "negative" as well. It's just evidence of how this show and women are sexist and gender-centric.

Oh the hypocrisy. Just like women to have no qualms indulging in the parts of the natural order when it benefits them, yet out of the other side of their mouth begrudge the negative side that comes with it. They want to have their cake and eat it too, but the main thing is they want to keep men in the vilian status to keep men shamed and compliant so women can continue to exploit men.

Speaking of the alleged tendency for women to become bulimic and anorexic because of the unreal standards of beauty held out by the media to which women feel so under pressure to attain, if that were truly the case, we wouldn't have so many overweight women in this country, would we?

Women play the victim to get preferential treatment when they weren't even a victim in the first place. That's kind of like manipulation and fraud. Well when you allow a manipulator and fraudster to act freely without accountability, they're going to continuously manipulate and defraud.

I agree with this.

Str8up: I admire your passion; you really are enthusiatic about changing some things--and changes are perhaps needed...but Tyra Banks and other talk show hosts are merely aspiring to make a dollar and a cent, and sensationalism is a sure-fire recipe for making lots of money.

Don't take the show too literally.

I strongly disagree. This is a religion to them. Feminism affects most every American woman I have met to a larger degree than most women I have met not from America. It's mostly how our marital and custody laws are set up. The women have the power. It needs to change and Str8up could not be any more right.

The men on the show were attacked for being realistic men. That's it. It's reverse discrimination based on sex. Women would not pay money for something they don't take seriously. This is their meal ticket. Their road to riches. They are not going to let this one go in a million years. It's just like communism. Once people realize they don't have to work hard to get paid, they won't. The whole mechanism is set in motion and will not stop until it has destroyed everything in its path and in the end will destroy itself, because there will be no one left to do the real work. In the end feminism will destroy sex, because there will be left no real men or women.

People have drawn parallels between women and communism/socialism. Coincidence? I think not. The feminist agenda would have us all be "equal" when if fact we are anything but. Just like with a capitalist society. There have to be the haves and the have nots. Otherwise the lazy will exploit the system, and the hard workers will lose incentive to perform. It must mimic nature or it will not work on a large scale.

Feminism is an artificial societal construct that cannot sustain itself indefinitely. The pendulum WILL swing back in the other direction. the only question is when???

Great user name, BTW.

Hey thanks. I think it's even worse than that. I mean Communism is still about the haves and have nots when you get down to it, same thing with feminism, except the haves don't have to earn shiit, they just take it from the stupid schmucks that think it's all about equality.

Does it strike anyone else as strangely convenient the the "Womanizer" episode should, oddly enough, air around the same time frame Brittney Spears has a top 40 hit called "Womanizer"?

Manufactured indignation is better than no indignation at all.

They played that song and showed clips from the video every time they came back from a commercial break.

Something about the word "womanizer" that really gets under my skin....

What a coincidence .

I like this phrase, but I would take it a step further. Manufactured indignation is better than real indignation :yes: .

STR8UP is a WOMANIZER WOMANIZER WOMANIZER... j/k.

If you read up on the early feminists, they openly stated that their feminism has its roots in communism / Marxism. Do a quick search on Google.

Tyra Banks is still relevant in someone's world, I'm sure.

She's relevant to me when I masturbate to her old pictures.
