how DESPERATE are we??

Desperate Housewives which airs on sunday nights on ABC consists of all the crazy, trashy, loud mouth, drama striving women fighting for attention and rich men. I tuned into this drama filled show this last Sunday, Halloween, to view Gabby trying to be a mother toward a child that she just found out was her, due to a switch up at birth. This lead to lessen her attention toward her other daughter that she actually raised. Then Bri, our red haired perfectionist divorce' is now dating a young, hott handy man who starts to find out the REAL her, bagage and all. She soon finds out his so called "bagage" as well which includes his anger issues. They then decide that they will accept eachother with their history and everything that comes along with it, and move on.

These little issues just grow bigger and BIGGER each episode. Susan begins to seceretly take part in videos online in much of nothing... but lingrine. She did not tell mike, her husband. She and Mike were struggling and needed money so she was "desperate" To make some quick cash. Ofcoarse this lead to more drama with the issue of keeping it a secret and then a fellow neighbor finding out about it and using it as black mail. This secret just grew deeper and deeper.

Susan is coming off very desperate indeed, as if there is no other way out of this financial bind but to reveal her body online. This is not such a good name for women.

Bri and Lanette's model friend, have been fighting over the same "handy man" I was talking about earlier. They also both seemed extremely "desperate" in the fight for one man. This lead to selling eachother out, making eachother look bad, calling eachother names, and many other drama filled caddy things that these women tend to do. This just another thing portraying women as desperate, helpless, caddy beings with no self respect or dignity.

And theres Lanette, just trying to get by as a stay at home mom. Her mother-in-law moved in and is trying to help her nanny her infant, but she soon finds out her mohter in law is little crazy.. and ofoarse Tom, her husband doesnt believe her. Lenette is trying to remain stable with her four children and wife duties. She is a perfect example of the ideal Wife and stay at home Mother. Ofcoarse, they had to have a women playing this part in a pressent day reality TV show. The expectations of Women that many people still expect.

From the lies, to the crazy mother-in-law, this show never seems to lack any drama. There are more and more examples of the the degrading of women in each episode! Stay tuned!
