A lot of times when discussing the image or women or the pressure of women to change to please others it is often focused on the man trying to change the woman. I like that this blog explores the pressures women put on each other to be what society expects. You do make it clear that these women are doing it to get the attentions of the millionaire, but I think it's interested that you focus mainly on Patti's influences on how the women change. I like that you are making a statement about the pressures on all sides for women to change to please the people around them.Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935388416923036772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164824657461407232.post-59540469658868491552014-05-08T17:11:29.368-07:002014-05-08T17:11:29.368-07:00I thought your post was awesome and I dig the humo...I thought your post was awesome and I dig the humor that you threw in there. I have to admit that I have watched this show before and I think it is complete garbage (I tend to think that about a lot of Bravo shows). Is this what dating has resorted to these days? Men being that shallow and only picking women that another woman has chosen for him at a mixer. Have fun in a relationship with a woman who only wants your money and only conformed to societal body images just so you would pick her. The show also highlights gender roles of men having all the money and are successful/superior while women are put in the inferior submissive roles where their looks are the only thing that matters. I just don't see the point for all the women faking who they are just to get with a millionaire. Same for the guys. It completely disregards a person's personality while reinforcing the stereotype that looks are better than personality. People need to be real and open and not hide or fake who they are. I totally agree with you that it rids humans of their individuality which is horrible. I don't want to live in a world where everyone is the same and where everyone has conformed to societal body images. Just because a man is rich doesn't mean he gets to buy love. As the Beatles would say, "Money can't buy me love." Anyways, your post was awesome and I agree with it 100%. Great job!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510749204232904979noreply@blogger.com
