Network Marketing Training Formula

I don’t do cable tv garbage, and have kept this stuff away from my kids, but I’m losing the battle. My kids have noticed that on regular network TV and in movies rated PG, that there are many negative terms used toward women. My young son asked me what a "ho" is, and it got me thinking. (He’s too old to believe they were referring to a garden tool). Women started out being insulted with terms such as "sissy" and "tomboy", now it is common to hear "b#%ch" and "ho"on daytime television without a second thought.

When we go to the store and the kids look at video games that are supposed to be for their perspective age groups, it’s there! Video games with the goal of robbing & raping women are making millions and destroying our children.

A friend and I were trying to think of the same terms for men, but there really are none. For example, being labeled a "player" is not a negative term for a male, it seems to be a compliment, yet the term "slut", the equal female term is very negative, and usually unwarranted.

I can’t even line up a family show on the internet in front of my kids because of the t&a all over the ads, I have to pull it up and then call them in to watch. If this type of marketing didn’t work, they wouldn’t be putting it out there, so obviously enough people are accepting this crap.

No, I’m not a conservative, I’m no prude, not going to put forth "religious" reasons, organized religions are also perpetuating this stuff also in their own way. But what gets me is that we all know that kids internalize this stuff and humans learn these attitudes from other humans, yet it’s getting worse! What is going on here? We’re going backwards!

Males – you are being insulted also, ads are appealing to your most primitive instincts of reproduction, they are skipping right past your brains assuming you’re too stupid to notice. Your mothers, sisters, daughters and aunts are being assaulted here – doesn’t this bother you?
All really good answers. – Molly, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Is it in the media this much because we accept it, or do we accept it because its all over the media? Kids and adults are learning these terms from the media, not the other way around. I noticed after that incident with Imus using the term "ho", this term became very popular.

I agree that women can be the worst offenders, my own mother is one. So sad, I’d love to have a reasonable female friend but women can be so competitive. Plus "they" tell me that I look like a woman, but think like a man, whatever that means. I take these types of comments as assuming an attractive woman could not be intelligent, kind of like being called a tomboy!

My best, and only, friend is a male who was brought up in a household of females. He gets this better than most woman I know.
Thanks. I feel better that there is intelligent life out there – don’t feel so alone.

The Increase?…it’s always been like that…it just became a bigger issue when Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain’s Vice President Running Mate…and the media went after her like Sharks to a Bloody Corpse…Women are still considered Minorities in the Eyes of Men (Some Men) hell women were alongside other minorities in 1920 when finally give the right to vote…in America
