Devious Maids, Client List, Mistresses The popularity of women as sexual objects on TV


The rise of TV shows like Devious maids, The Client List and Mistresses a sure sign that women are being relegated to the objects they once were and for some totally incomprehensible reason, women watch these shows? I am assuming they do otherwise why are these shows on the air for any reason?
Devious maids is about four Latina maids working for the rich and famous in   in Beverly Hills and perpetuates ll the stereotypes about Latin and other women. These maids are not of the "Help" variety as you can see from their revealing uniforms and oozing sexuality.


The Client List stars Jennifer Love Hewitt  as a prostitute under the guise of a massage therapist. Apparently being a prostitute is now a worthy goal that our girls should all strive to attain. Young teenage girls watching the client list are being exposed to different kinds of values and taught that there is nothing wrong with giving your male clients a little extra to make money. Both the client List and Devious maids are on Lifetime along with a collection of other shows that demean women. Perhaps Lifetime should change its name to Sleazetime.

And not to be out done we have the glorification of adultery in Mistresses, ABC's new slut show. Just what we need on prime time TV: the glorification of  slut, casual sex, illicit affairs; prostitution, cheating on your spouse and sexually transmitted diseases. I think it is time to ditch the cable and sign up for Netflix
