‘Jeopardy!’ Asks What Women Want; Women Ask WTF?
Boston Globe ^ | September 30, 2014 | Emily Wright

Posted on 09/30/2014 5:58:19 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

“What do women want?” A question for the ages, challenging humanity’s sagest philosophers. On Monday night, “Jeopardy!” attempted to answer — er, question — it with a category that left viewers and women’s rights activists flabbergasted and disappointed.

The compilation of clues, titled “What Women Want,” included prompts such as, “A few moments of quiet to do this, especially the one edited by Will Shortz in The New York Times.”

There was a question yesterday about the beast mentioned in Job. The lady answered “Leviathan”. I was thinking the same word but they ruled her wrong.

I just looked it up in the King James version and sure enough it says Leviathan. I expected them to correct it today but nothing happened.

I agree with Freud. What women really want is a good, inexpensive cigar.

It sure was. Probably a couple of million dollars worth of publicity.

From the article “with a category.”

I would assume Jeopardy has women, perhaps liberal, who are involved in the game productions.

According to Jeopardy it is a hippopotamus.

Unless the $2000 answer was, “What is whine and complain about all the things wrong in their life, then get mad when you offer them logical, rational solutions,” this category was complete BS.

We DVR and watch Jeopardy every night. I got the ‘crossword puzzle’ question wrong, I went for ‘book’ as I didn’t know what they were talking about. I remarked to my husband ‘huh, I guess I don’t know what women want’. It was a silly category but I certainly wasn’t offended by it.

Alex said the correct answer was ‘behemoth’. Must be a different version of the Bible. I really think the contestants have to sign an affidavit saying they will not object any wrong/ but really right answers.

Gender topics can be difficult because we have different experiences but what disturs me is when feminists only care about their own issues and refuse to acknowledge that men can be painted in a bad light. I saw Family Feud not to long ago and a question had to do with “What would wives love to do to their husbands (when men go bad)?” (or something to that degree). Answers included spanking, slapping and “sending them to their room.” Imagine if those answers were about women?

You have a much better memory than me. I was trying to remember what he said.

Jeopardy within the last few years has gotten very PC. I still watch it but can tell it has changed.

Men, particularly white men, are the oppressor class........haven’t you been indoctrinated yet? I used to be somewhat of a Feminist until I realized that Feminists aren’t really for ALL women, just Leftists and Leftist causes. In other words, I grew up. Our country is a mess and Feminists are a big part of it. As is every other small, loud minority demanding their ‘rights’ or ‘someone else paying for what I want’.

Here’s the answer: “Excitement in bible class as we learn this huge creature that “drinketh up a river” in Job is thought to have been a hippo.”

The correct question is “What is Behemoth?”

See Job 40:15-24

Men have a sense of humor about themselves, few women do.
