Where Are the Female Role Models on TV?

If your reading this I’m sure it’s because you like me have become obsessed with reality television. There is nothing better than after a long day at work cozying up on the couch with yummy snack and your favorite TV show.

But for the past six months and a few extra pounds later, I am finding an underlining theme with all my favorite shows, THEY ARE ALL ABOUT WIVES. Literally everything I watch is about someone’s wife/ girlfriends, someone who’s sleeping with a man that has a wife, and I just read that VH1 just wrapped a show about Hip-Hop wives/ girlfriends. I really can’t deal with this — but dammit I’m addicted.

I recently had a conversation with my friend about my enjoyment of reality T.V. He trashed my taste in show choices and asked “How is a working woman addicted to a life that feeds of the success of a man?None of these woman WORK.” and that is fact guys!

What message are these shows sending our kids- our daughter, sisters, nieces. When I was growing up, I watched Moesha, she graduated from high school and went to college, hell even Gina worked in Martin- with that being said if the youth is our future  what are we perpetuating to them?

Again these are just my thoughts and I really want to know what you guys think.
