New Fox show: ‘Can women effectively rule society?

[CatWoman]

Fox is planning a new show this fall called “When Women Rule The World.” From the description:

What if it was “a woman’s world”? What if women made ALL the decisions? If men were their obedient subjects?

These questions and more will be explored when a group of strong, educated, independent women, tired of living in a man’s world and each with a personal axe to grind, rule over a group of unsuspecting men used to calling the shots on WHEN WOMEN RULE THE WORLD. <…>

The participants will be brought to a remote, primitive location where the women will have the opportunity to “rule” as they build a newly formed society — one where there is no glass ceiling and no dressing to impress. For the men, their worlds of power and prestige are turned inside-out and upside-down. And for these women, turnabout is fair play! <…>

How will the men react? How will the women treat the men? Can women effectively rule society? Will the men learn what life is like for some women in today’s world? Will this new society be a Utopia or a hell on earth? And in the end, who will be man enough to succeed in the new social order?

1. There's the conservative mentality and its flaw summed up in one question.

A Republican asks who can effectively rule the world, a Democrat asks who can effectively lead it.

:applause:

15. Absolutement!

:thumbsup:

Conservatives are dominated by the idea someone has to rule and others have to follow.

16. Ooops! Dupe

[wavesofeuphoria]

2. Set up in patriarchical manner.

What a stupid insidious show this will be ... sets out to stereotype and support a male dominated society's view of women. "Who will be man enough" to succeed? :puke:

13. yes, the very fact that this could be a show speaks volumes.

[Warpy]

4. A lot of men never seem to get over that potty training thing

do they? They freak out every time women make gains and start shrieking about a world controlled by women in which women treat men the way those same men are treating the women in their lives right now.

It's a very sad mindset that can't see the humanity in both sexes, the good and the bad, which makes us much more than our genetalia, musculature and brain structure do.

5. What a remarkable coincidence.

And those pig-fuckers probably think they're being subtle. You would think that by now they would realize that they can whack their core audience over he head with a 2x4 and get the same result. Nuance!?!? That's for libruls!

6. I just love the dark ages

Thanks conservatives, for your supremely infantile minds! :hi:

7. Well men have not done such a great job, I say let the women rule

But a Faux "reality show" will show us nothing of any consequence..

8. Um. Maybe neither men nor women need to be subservient.

:bounce:

9. A better question would be,

"Is Fox sNooz even relevant today, especially because of their hardly veiled sexist view of women?"

11. Damn - I was waiting for the DU-rss-feeds to post it - lol!

[Jacobin]

12. Lessee, here.....Queen Elizabeth comes to mind. She was brilliant

And whatever happened to the RW's favorite prime minister, Margaret Thatcher? I thought she was their goddess?

Faux is such a waste of air space.

14. I'll bet that's a "fair and balanced" review...

NOT!!! :grr::mad:
