Look I'm not going to say the Bachelor is a bastion of feminism because it's clearly not. But you seem to be forgetting that the show alternates between the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. So it's not like the show only teaches young girls that they are "a worthless, souless object and a man should pick from a bounty of them to please his every desire" ... it also teaches men that they too are "worthless, souless objects and a woman should pick from a bounty of them to please her every desire" [You must be logged in to view images.

Or maybe it doesn't teach either, maybe it just teaches us the same lesson as all reality TV: that the human race is sad and pathetic at times, and many of us (including my wife) like to enjoy the schadenfreude of that combined with a (heavily produced/fake/soap opera) love story.
P.S. My wife actually can't stand the schadenfreude part, but she's a sucker for the love story part. |
actually the bachlorette also is am embarrassment and encourages the patriarchy more than any pussy grabbing old man does.
please get your head out of your ass for at least 5 seconds so you can respond with an ounce of consistency with your over the top message.
