choice quotes:

Lifetime TV is nothing but a graveyard full of washed up 80’s actors whose next public appearance should be a ritualistic burning.

Once that show is over they play some cheese ass movie with Meredith Baxter-Birney and that guy from “Eight is Enough”. You know…one of those movies that dictate to the woman’s forum just what “romantic” means. They set the standards pretty damn high too! The only men that sensitive have very tastefully decorated houses and live alone or "with a friend".

Wink Wink...nudge nudge!!

Then you get the stares and the comments, “Why can’t you be more like him”? Damn it...How can you compete with that.

(and men don't ever compare women to impossible standards right?)

He is so sensitive to women that he must have been programmed…I mean…”coached” into bleeding right along with them once a month. You can't trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and doesn't die.

Every time I turn around it seems that there is another channel for women. Lifetime Real Women, Lifetime Movie network. Other channels like WE (Women’s Entertainment) and Oxygen are paving the way for new rivers of crap.

Let’s face it….nothing we can do will completely rid us of this menace. We might as well try to make the best of it. Not all of the movies are man-hating, I am woman hear me roar type crap.

There is yet another avenue for Lifetime TV to deliver their man-hating propaganda....The Lifetime TV Magazine!!! I spotted this at our local supermarket just the other day. I was repelled by it like kryptonite. Women, however, seemed attracted to it like some kind of estrogen sucking black hole.

Men....if you see your significant other has purchased this magazine I would suggest discreetly removing the magazine (use tongs if necessary) and disposing of it in a suitable fashion.
 
*chuckles* that article made me guffaw out loud. Lifetime is something I have no idea about but i know those kind of movies*L*

Yeah, but how much you wanna bet that the owner of this rediculous web page has a subscription to Maxim (the ultimate 'women are all brainless and should look like underwear models', magazine) and a whole collection of Hustler magazines stashed somewhere. :rolleyes:
 
I knew you would come around.

Some guys like that think the only reason women get together is to strip down to their panties and have pillow fights, so why not?

I gots lotsa shoot-em-up action flick DVD's and pillows, popcorn and panties is optional.

Why is every woman I fall in love with a lesbian? :(

Well, why do men think we (some of us) like these movies/programs? They seem to think that we are just being brainwashed- but many of us can relate. Pretty much every woman has at least one friend (if not more) who has been molested, raped, stalked or abused by a trusted male (and often a relative or spouse). Yes, it happens to men too, but how many men do you personally know who have been sexually assaulted by a woman? How much of a fear is it for you? --Trust me, this did not start with Lifetime.--

Most of those Lifetime made for television movies are based on real life things. Some of the older ones were on primetime and did an important part in making certain problems (such as stalking) a known and helping to bring about changes in legeslation and law inforcement that helped to get things changed.

It's not lifetime that makes men look bad- they just shine a light on the actions of some of them, and they don't seem to like there deeds exposed- therefor they blame lifetime. Maybe they should be mad at the men who *are* assholes who give them all a bad name, instead of taking it out on those who dare expose the truth about some of there gender?

Well, well.. that's enough preaching for me.

I think what pisses me off all the more, is that the dude thinks he's being funny. (or seems to any way)

Why is every woman I fall in love with not?:(
 
I know one man well who was abused by a woman.A woman ho he trusted and loved. I also know of 2 others also who have been abused by women.

But that isn't the point. I am sure there are a few of those films with a plot, a point and a good one at that. I'm not denying that....but I can see where the bloke comes from :)

They tend to be badly acted and and "false" looking...they're tacky and annoying. Like soaps over here....they make pins, some stuff happens in reality but it's portrayed in a hyperbolic way.

to me that is what the guy is "protesting" about. And he's not protesting too hard either, I think it's just a bit of a giggle really. One of those age old "boys are better than girls" things, tongue in cheek and madeto provoke a reaction.

However I come from the North of England. This kind of thing appeals to my sense of humour as it is so sarcastic and silly...and something that would be voiced liberally by blokes in pubs all over the UK.

Sometimes you can take things TOO seriously.

Well I think so anyway :)

Oh, she just has impossible standards from watching Lifetime TV.

(like expecting him to last more than 5 minutes, and expecting her to attend to her needs...)

Maybe;)

Do you like Lifetime movies?

Do you own or have heard any Indigo songs? Mellisa Etheridge?

do you wear flannel or are you more into dressing up?

I'll have to find a questionaire....I'm sure the government has one issued for such things.

:cool:

actually, I'm a little sick of lifetime myself- but i do have an "i am woman, hear me roar" mentality.

I have *never* heard the Indigo girls sing, although I have heard of them. Why do gay women like alt music, and gay men love pop? [suposedly] wierd.

Melisa Etheridge- love her, her music, her voice her attitude and her look. She's pretty dang hot- oh but her wife!!! WOW--za!!!

Definatly the lipstick kind. (although sometimes am a slob, I like to get pretty)

is the questionaire biased so that no matter what you say your one kind of lesbian or another?;) That's the best kind:) Then I can hand it out to the other not-gay women I like:D

Sweet,
(I know I'm pissing on a fence here, let's just hope it's not hot.)
Many if not most men have known, or still know women who were stalked, raped, abused, or molested. It is not just women who have these friends. Most of the men I know, or at least those I classify as men, react rather strongly to this subject. The punishments they can come up with for those who commit these crimes against women are often more barbaric, and infinitely more painful than those most women come up with.

One thing these movies don't talk about is the reaction of the men when their spouse or grilfriend is attacked. (It is rarely talked about, but there have been several studies. I'll have to find them for you.) What they go through is much like survivors guilt, but in some ways worse. Many men, and not just here in the United States are raised with the belief, (often ridiculed) that they must protect their loved ones from harm. When their S.O. is attacked they feel they have failed their loved one in a very basic way, even if there was no way they could have protected them. (i.e. he is out of town on a trip, or he is in work, or she is in work.) There is a strong feeling of guilt there, even if it is not deserved. There is also the stigma other men place on him because he was not there to protect her.

Another point these movies often fail to mention is the dynamics at home after the attack. I have heard many women complain that their spouse treats them differently after an attack, as though they were damaged goods. Often this treatment is different because the husband or boyfriend has no idea how the woman is going to react. This is where communication between the two of them is needed, but often doesn't happen. The male understands she was attacked, he needs to know what the female needs from him. Maybe it's just being held, but she must let him know that. She also has to understand that he wasn't there, he doesn't know what took place during the attack. He knows that some things will trigger memories of the attack but he doesn't know what they are. Will it be his whispering against the back of her neck? Will it be his holding her hands the way she liked for so long? Or will it be him coming up behind her? Or even something as innocent as his knocking on the window as he passes by?

On the other hand, some of the movies and programs on these channels are great. I have seen a couple which I wished I had taped so I could pass them on to other people I know. (One like this was a recent one about surviving Breast Cancer.)

Cat

Oh by the way, I can't stand either Playboy or Hustler. The women all look fake to me. (Although Hustler does have some good stroke stories from time to time.)
 
Ok so woman watch sappy ass tv. So what, big deal, it's not like it going to replace ESPN 1, ESPN2, The Speed Channel, the History channel, The Discovery Channel with American Chopper, American Hot Rod and Chopper Build Off and Pax TV
