Reading Response " The Bachelor"

Sarah Beth,
Well I picked the bachelor because it was the first one you listed on the paper and I truly didn't care what I had to read....bad move on my part. Personally I believe that this reading was horrible. I know you must hate me right now but I am so sick of woman saying this is a man's world still. I am sick of woman saying that there only judged for there looks and blah, blah, blah. Coming from a woman who is labeled "Barbie" at her bar job and voted class blonde in her Aviation class I can honestly tell you I don't think twice about it. I know I'm smart I hold a G.P.A of 3.7 and have won many awards to back it up. I fly planes and have videos of my solos. I hold 2 part-time jobs and present myself respectably. I don't give two-shits what any man or woman may want to label me. We should all know by now that society considers beauty as tall, thin, tan and blonde with blue eyes, whatever. Society will sadly and maybe always think that way, bitching about it won’t change it, it will only justify that many are right by labeling woman as complainers and whiners. You know what you are and that is all that matters. As for the bachelor it’s a damn show (sorry for all the naughty words) people make shows like this up because America loves to watch reality trash, I do, we all do. If this Douglas lady finds it so offensive then don't watch it and smack your kid if you see she is. Well maybe not smack. Anyways T.V. is T.V. watch the Discovery channel is you want to learn not late night ABC or MTV where all there is, is smut and reality T.V.

Now to you questions, she obviously did her research because she knew the names of the Bachelor contestants and knew what the base of the show was. I even think it was quite cute how she compared it to a 4-H judging of farm animals. She even researched about 19th-century slave pens so that she could add that to her article. She also interviewed her daughter/friends and asked them how they felt about the show. Despite her hate for the show she still took an effort to watch it so that she can have enough evidence that the bachelor was indeed sexist, or as she thought so. She seems to be a real feminist which isn’t a bad thing, whatever her prerogative is she should stick to it. I believe she stands real firm on her opinion and with will power like that she can go far. She was more of an insider I would have to say because she followed the show, went on the chat lines and talked to those who followed the show as well. It would have been so much more effective to me if she would have stopped complaining about woman not being treated equal and just right out said that the show was un-educational and smut, because really it's just a show and those people are all of free will and wanting to do it. That should have been the end of it. It cracks me up that she hated the show so much, but still took the time to dedicate, research and write a article on it. Sounds like she should be spending less time one that and more time on her daughter because heaven forbid she would grow up to be like those horrible woman on T.V. that are thin, beautiful and goal orientated, because even though being on the show isn’t that big of an accomplishment at least they got off there ass and did something. Wow this lady is getting to me, but I respect her opinion we all have them. The key targets were woman, and woman who hate or love the bachelor. In her research of this community she wants to almost correct or "help" them rather than just shut up and observe. Not the less she did very well with the research and knowing what it was about. I give her an A for effort. Ha, Ha!
