Bernard Chapin
New Yorker Rips Lifetime (Hurrah!)

You know life's looking up when these PC leftists actually have the guts to say something:

What you learn from watching Lifetime is: Don’t go in the house; don’t leave the house; don’t let your daughter leave the house; and, whatever you do, don’t let that man in the house. There is often more to the shows and movies on Lifetime than you might guess from the descriptions, but for many people the channel is still a puzzlement at best; its slogan might as well be “Television for women who aren’t like any women you’ve ever met in your life.”

Lifetime has always gone after a demographic that is largely ignored—no, actively shunned—by other networks: older women. But, aside from the fear-and-loathing programming, there isn’t much to choose from on the depressing and often ridiculous menu of offerings. It’s an endless loop of victimization followed by empowerment, interlarded with syndicated sitcoms like the third-rate “Still Standing” and “Reba.”

    After reading the reviews of these shows on Lifetime, it makes one wonder whether there is a correlation between feminism and psychosis.

    It would hard to observe more futile navel-gazing on a beach in Negril!

    Oh…I'm loving this piece of opine.
    After the many years Lifetime has shopped the video libraries of television to find only that programmimg which always villinized men.
    And now I can't stop laughing.
    Thanks for my humor of the day, Bernard.

    Alot of the feminists have a taste for fear, hysteria, Fantasizing about how they are abused, and many other forms of drama…

    As Esther Vilar states in her book "THE MANIPULATED MALE" …

    "women are callous and cannot feel anything else!!
