I've been looking for it and I can't find it, but I'll try harder soon. I know it's a brazilian show though, so I doubt you'd be able to check it out. I remember reading the name of the host but can't really find it now. Sorry.
BTW, you say that it doesn't say anything about the entitlement of women but you still believe that if the genders were swapped this would never be on the air, that has to say something... Though I agree with you that anyone who can get away with something have the potential to do it regardless of anyone else's feelings about it - - but that also says something about our culture and how one gender has been given incredible opportunities to take advantage using that method. Either by law or just social situations.
Unless you're completely blown up and become a paper weight, or is in a coma forever (to which you wouldn't even know about the moving on on the wife's part), an illness or injury that makes you unable to get hard doesn't mean that you cant have a healthy sex life and appetite. Just means that things would have to be adjusted and that if your wife is truly happy with what she has, she'll still love you and want to be with you.
Plus, being a cuck in that case is not only knowing that your wife is involved with others sexually, it's seeing it and even being humiliated by it while trying to find something good in it to justify why you're going through that honeysuckle.
Ah well, that last part I won't comment on, because I don't get it, I think it's revolting lol. Sorry to men who are cucks,but if that turns you on, I don't understand you, sorry.
As for entitlement of women....this is a LONG subject we could talk about for two hours lol, preferably in front of a drink. I'll try not to write ten paragraphs 15 pages long lol.
As we are learning more about the brain, some new studies are coming up that are pointing to one thing, that no one really has accepted yet and that, as you say, has deeply become embedded in our society and culture; differences between men and women. However, like I said, new studies are coming up that are going to dramatically change that view. You know what the difference is between you and me? ABSOLUTELY NONE.
Oh, of course, hormonal, biological differences aplenty, that affect your reactions or short term decisions, kind of like testosterone with me, but what FUNDAMENTALLY differentiates your brain from mine? Nothing. We have a lot more in common, me manbrain and you womanbrain, than we have difference. We differentiate only in how we were both raised and what we accepted or didn't accept, in growing up, in school, in what friends told us, in what other men and women told us, but our capacities are the same. So if I was taught that girls are weaklings that always wear a dress and cook, you have the potential to learn the same thing and believe it, just like we can believe the exact opposite. It's actually been somewhat of a (naturally unpopular among feminist groups lol) criticsm of "women's revolution", now that several decades have ellapsed and women are elevating themselves into positions of power. It was expected they would bring a new way of doing business and running things, but as it stands, women and men behave absolutely the same in the workplace, this according to, among other things, this study by Harvard. So articles are read where they vaunt the presence of women, or companies that send out releases saying how they're happy to favor women over men, are only pandering to the politics of the time, instead of actual leadership who values true competence without prejudism (hiring a man over a woman is as bad as hiring a woman over a man with all things equal)

(Of course, this is ALWAYS changing as the field of neurosciences becomes broader, but so far no significant differences between the two have been found in the accomplisment of either professional or personal task. Some minor biological differences exist, but so far they do not correlate with widely varying brain usage. Mind you I'm not a neurologist, but so far as I can follow the field the answer is still "we think but we don't know. But we think the same, more or less".
So, by that posit, if we're basically the same, why do women, or men depending on the case, feel entitled? It's because they were either bred, convinced, told, educated or decided to act as such. It's a matter of choice, of decision. As such, to say "the entitlement of women" is not accurate, because "women" or "men" as definitions are fundamentally flawed precepts. Much as, I read in another thread, the debate exist on the definition of Alpha Males, Beta Males and etc, I posit that the exact same thing exists among women (which you probably will not see in any kind of study for, oh, at least 50 years until it becomes okay to criticize "women" again in a realistic way, once the passions unleashed with things like #metoo, which is a good movement but also has a huge share of "if you criticze it in ANY way, you're a sexist), meaning Alpha women, Beta women and etc. As such, two possibilities come to mind; the show you're refering to is composed of what I'd call Alpha women, which basically imitate the exact same behavior as Alpha males, with all the positives, BUT also negative conotations that implies; entitlement, arrogance, vanity, etc. Much in the same way men are (or were) reproached of acting.
It's a bit why I criticize modern Feminist movements, while still considering myself a Feminist; many have perverted it's nature into trying to render acceptable the very behaviors that men were criticized for having for centuries, "but it's okay if you're a woman".
Then you have other women, so dubbed "Beta" women, who are more what we posit as the traditional female, who probably have as much hate for those Alpha women as they do with Alpha males, much like their "Beta male" counterparts (Note that I hate vulgarizing in those terms which I feel are pejorative, but I in fact remain convinced that the "Betas" are the more advanced form of humanity. They've evolved beyond primal instinct into more refined and defined human beings, GENERALLY, because there are as any things, exceptions)
Okay, so much for me not disserting lol. Anyway, all that to say that I do not believe it's saying anything about entitlement of WOMEN, as much as it's saying something about the entitlement of THOSE women, on that show and those like them outside of it. A small, but I believe to be very key distinction. As long as we keep examining people as groups instead of on an individual level, inequalities will continue to exist. Behaviors of the like should have been declining in lieu of the rise of Feminism in the 50's and 60's, yet I feel as though it's been regressing since the late 90's, time at which while asserting more important roles in society, Alpha women have been emulating the exact same behaviors as the men they criticized.
Which brings me back to my original phrase; if someone can pass something bad as good and get away with it, they WILL. No matter sex, age, race, groups, political affiliations or anything else. Before our sexes, before anything, we're human; greed and egoticism are traits we all possess. Some seek to be rid of those, others thrive on it; as long as we allow some groups to thrive on it, we'll always have those inequalities. Only difference is it'll switch groups. Much as the Romans once played at burning Christians in the 1st century, so too has the Church played at burning pagans and witches (mostly innocent women) in the 14th century. Power shifts, the basics stay the same. Now some women have it in their heads to rule the world, governements allow inequalities because of votes and monetary decisions; eventually, the balance will swing the other way. Feminist movements will eventually flounder when people and science realize we're only different in our biological makeup, not our grey matter.
Equality, not equity, right? ;-)
Anyways, that's what I see, it's opinion only based on observation. **** if I know I'm just crazy or something. Maybe I just drink too much coffee. But I remain firmly convinced of those beliefs. Which is how I can still consider myself a Feminist, WHILE being against Feminism. Because Inequality varies by name....
It might also be incredibly naive of me lol. F*ck it. If shoe fits...
There's also the third possibility; none of it's real and it's all rehearsed. That's popular in reality tv. Might be all scripted horsecrap.
As for the limpy dick thing, lol, I guess. If you don't mind, I'll cross that bridge when I (hopefully never) get to it ;-)
NDLR; You know what's funny? In real life I'd have said about nine words and thought all that, that's including "people are messed up and Feminism is perverse". Guess it's easier to take your time and write it out than talking. I'd usually get bored by sentence three and figure I didn't care enough about some stupid tv show lol. But that sums up my view of the matter.
