Are We Being Socially Raped?
Are We Being Socially Raped?
I was watching an episode of The Game and a situation came up where a male employee pulled out his penis in front of his female employee. She described it as being socially raped.
Then my fiance and I had a conversation about the way Black women are portrayed on television. I asked him, "Are we being portrayed negatively or or do Black women really act like that?"
So that caused me to think, "Are we being socially raped?"
But of course all Black women...all women do not always act the way they are being portrayed on television. Am I the only one who is frustrated? In an earlier post, I mentioned that I watched The Bad Girls Club although I hated it. I hate it for everything it represents. The females are celebrated for catty behavior, drunkeness, how sexy they can (or think they can) be, basically the more outrageous the behavior the better. Then on Flavor of Love and For the Love of Ray J, the women are asked to jump through ridiculous hoops just to get a man. Is this all we are about? Really?
The shows that are most popular are the ones where we are behaving badly. Can you name some shows that are on television where women are celebrated for their intelligence and feminine grace? Not ones that are canceled but still on the air...Go ahead, I'll wait.
Are women being socially raped by the media and society? What do these types of shows tell impressionable youth about their mothers, sisters, and etc? It seems to me that television gets worse and worse. What kind of shows will my future daughter be watching?
