I call it women's victim's television. When my wife was pregnant with our first child she was put on bed rest. I had to forbid her from watching lifetime. All they showed were movies that jacked up her blood pressure. She definitely did not need that.
"I had to forbid her from watching lifetime." I don't disagree with your point, but... you actually tell your wife what tv channels she can watch?? Your wife is a lesser entity than yourself and needs you to make her viewing choices? I just have to ask, what happens if she disobeys the Master?
