WEEK #19
(9-25-11 to 10-1-11): JUDGMENT
Everyone
judges every day regarding everything.
Here’s the rub, we judge others by what we would do ourselves…..kinda
telling isn’t it! We judge based on not
only what we would do ourselves, but what we have experienced other’s to have
done.
In this
sense, I have passed judgment. I will not be participating in the viewing of a
new “sitcom” scheduled to air tonight.
Pan Am. I have judged this show
and heaped in with another show I won’t watch, The Playboy Club. Without having seen anything other than the
trailers, I have made my judgment. I
deem these two weekly shows to be anti-feminist programs. These two shows, in my view, have been
created by over stimulated, under educated, over hormone-ized young men who
would throw us back to the days when women were seen as simply chattel.
In most
respects, it is still a “man’s world”.
If women are not diligent many men, men with power, would turn back to a
time gone by. To a time when women had
to have permission from their husbands or fathers to make any decision. Oh
certainly, women had legal rights, however, it was up to men to enforce the
laws therefore the laws were often overlooked.
They would
turn to a time when women were not management.
They would turn back to a time when women, in America, were seen as
mindless property. Property to be used
for men’s pleasure or advancement. Not
only acting jobs were attained on the casting couch. I, for one, would much rather be judged for
my other assets than how I look in a tight skirt and sweater.
I have
judged these two “sitcoms” as less than desirable to the advancement of all
minorities and women in particular. I refuse
to give them my vote of confidence. Right, wrong or indifferent, this is my judgement. I am
changing the channel to voice my judgment.

Interesting. I can see where you're coming from, although I plan to give it a try. (Worked in the airline industry for a while, so I am curious to see what they do.) I'll let you know if I feel like it matches your judgment after I watch!
ReplyDeleteI see where you're coming from but I think (without ever seeing either one of them yet) they're trying to come at it from the point of women were the truly strong and smart ones, and the fact that they had to "hide" it made them all the more strong and smart. They knew how to work around the system and work it to their advantage.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen either show but you make some interesting observations.
ReplyDeleteWe need to judge TV shows, so we don't waste our time watching what's not worthy of our time!
