A week or two ago I watched a Bear Grylls programme in which he showed so much favouritism towards women, that two of the three finalists in his endurance exercise were women.
I’m halfway through his Channel 4 programme The Island. Tonight’s episode concerns 10 men from various walks of life who’ve been set loose on an uninhabited island in the Pacific, and it’s not looking good for them. Incompetence and a failure to work as a team are rife. Tomorrow 10 women will be set loose on an island. What’s the betting they’ll do just fine by comparison?
The relentless project to make women believe they’re superior to men knows no bounds.
Justice for Men & Boys 
I wonder what confidentiality agreements were signed by the contestants. It would be very interesting to hear some accounts of the behind the camera, backroom briefings and instructions. One thing you can be certain of: any male complaints of bias or favouritism will be dismissed as male jealousy, male whining or male fear of female superiority. ‘Reality’ TV requires a great deal of planning and the producers always have a marketable ‘slant’ in mind when pitching their ideas to executives, who are only ever concerned with returns, which come from advertising for commercial broadcasters, and women constitute the bulk of the buying public by far.
There is, somewhere on the planet, at least one man with access to the necessary data and the ability to correlate increasing media misandry with consumer market research. Another fruitful orchard might be a ’cause and effect’ study of any relationship between the growth of misandrous programming and the increasing number of women employed in broadcasting and film or programme making.
One day all this will be possible. Until then we must hunt with flint tipped spears but those men and boys who come after us will say that they stand on the shoulders of giants. The message is spreading, and far more widely than our opponents would like.

I’m sure they will, given the additional support they will receive off camera. Under normal circumstances women are poor team players, usually because for whatever reason, some will feel they are entitled to preferential treatment, and they will fragment into spiteful little groups.
They will therefore be supported in ensuring these inevitable nastinesses don’t happen, are contained and are kept off screen.

I don’t know why anyone is so convinced that these are good tv programs.
All of these reality/game shows are based on conflict, drama, bias and the viewing figures that are needed to sell the tv programs. Grylis has probably been told by producers to do this to get the ratings up and to target their core demographic. You can’t sell these tv “products” unless the viewing figures go up and the advertisers think they will sell more “cack” to these viewers. “the island” is nothing more than a paid manipulated platform to promote advertising. If it wasn’t targeted at women then it would be some other demographic. I would have thought that the feminists who actually have brains would be outraged that such a program is manipulated to encourage them to purchase more “women” products. no interest in promoting women purely for merit then? Not when you can’t sell them something.

They are good programmes in the way that brightly coloured plastic toys with lots of moving parts and take sweet or fatty takeaway food are good. They satisfy the undiscriminating and simple minded.

I watched the ITV drama “Code of a Killer” the other day and was dismayed to see the character representing DNA guru, Alec Jeffries addressing an audience of 18 female students to 10 male in the lecture theatre. That would hardly have been the case in 1983 when the drama is set.
