subliminal messages

I saw an episode of a television show that I loved as a tweenager. The show was intended for kids my age in the 11-13 year old range. The specific audience was boys, but I and a friend from school watched it because of the cute guys.

What were those producers thinking? A show for little kids, specifically boys, and the main lesson driven into our heads every day was that girls can and should be good, better, best, never resting until the boy is dominated and the better is best.

I was shocked by a scene that was played for humor in which two guys and a girl were walking while on a journey. Boy A was carrying a load and complaining about it, so the girl took it from him and marched off. Behind her back, boys A and B high-fived each other. Episode after episode of women overcoming impossible odds and men being incredibly stupid.

Oh dear. Hello, unhappy 11-year old Jenny. I was wondering where you picked up those feminist ideals. But you were eleven, and those ideas went right over your discretion and right into your head.

Kids are little fools. That's not the surprise. What I don't understand is why male producers and male writers would write a show for little men that completely demeans men and teaches little women to despise men? I do not get it.

I don't like tv.
