i am teaching a women's studies course at hofstra university and we have recently been talking about reality television and how they are often misogynist and send out dangerous messages to girls and young women. the reason i bring this up is because we learned that a vast majority of people who watch reality shows are teenage girls and young women between the ages of 18 and 24 and also most reality shows are produced by men. we're talking about shows such as the bachelor, rock of love, the girls next door, keeping up with the kardashians, bad girls club, america's next top model and even shows like american idol and dancing with the stars. now granted i do not like reality shows to begin with we have been studying these shows by watching scenes from these shows on tv and seeing how dehumanizing to women they are. yeah one might argue that these shows are sexist against men as well but they really aren't. at least the men on these shows aren't botoxed up or are cosmetically enhanced. and even the bachelorette is anti-women by showing the female lead as a brainless sex object. i for one hope for the sake of all womankind that reality shows soon die a painful death and are put out of their misery once and for all so we can see shows that are more empowering and less insulting.

I don't like reality shows either, most people are just making a fool of themselves on tv. It that's what it takes to make them famous. However, it seems like audiences are addicted to reality shows, and that is what keeps the shows alive.

right same here, contestants just acting to get noticed by the public, one show that big brother thingy thats the show that i hate the most.

i don't hate reality shows but i think there are too many and yes it sends bad messages.

I just notice that with Survivor the women don't really eat anything. I mean, it's like they're anorexic to get on the show and then they don't even have the energy to compete for food or anything which makes them look really weak and helpless.
