Real Housewives Of EVERYTHING

I've already written a blog about reality tv shows. But this blog focuses on a different type of reality show and the message it portrays. With shows such as Real Housewives of Atlanta and the new hit vh1 series Basketball Wives, it seems there is no positive image of the smart, educated woman. These shows glorify and glamorize the lifestyle of stay-at-home wife or mother and tell teenagers and young girls that they should aspire to having a famous husband.

Reality TV is breeding a generation of gold-diggers.

TV needs more shows that chronicle a woman's life who isn't a fashion designer or something of that nature. I want to see College educated women, being successful in their field of study, or chronicles of a single mother continuing her studies. That would make for an interesting story line. At least I'd prefer it over the drama and pointlessness of at home women married to rich people.

Women. Independence. Please.
