When searching the Internet I came across this article. Author Jennifer Pozner writes about reality TV shows and how they interpret 'women' to be. I feel she hit dead on in this article. I do watch a lot of reality TV, but hadn't watched much of the Real Housewives of wherever shows. So I took a minute to watch a few clips from those shows and I personally feel majority of the shows are ridiculous! I feel it is pretty much other women (Mothers) who are for the most part trying to live as if they were still in their youth years. There was one episode in particular with a group of the Housewives around ones pool and acting very immature. The owner of the houses daughter was present and it got to the point where she went in the house because she was so embarrassed of her Mothers behavior. I just know if that were my Mom I would have to look at her as more of a friend not as a Mother figure at all, because of her actions.
In the article Jennifer Pozner goes on to talking about how the women on these reality TV shows are perceived to be dumb blonde's. I couldn't agree more with this statement because I feel it is so true. Whether or not if this is degrading the women population, these reality shows will still be seen on TV regardless. Reason being that so many of us women do watch these reality shows. Whether it does down grade women or not, it is most likely the women population that is keeping these shows on TV.
