I am fed up and tired of these type articles and shows that suggests to and causes poor females to believe that we are the only ones who need to take care of our looks. I am surprised when seemingly smart women join in this type of practice. <br /><br />It's sad that so many females, and grown ones at that who ought to know better thanto fallforthis and then push this typeface madedoxtrine off on females. <br /><br />please write more articles like this. :) <br /><br />BTW: Sorry to write my comment 5 years later, but I just found this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-41188034305254568352010-10-24T22:18:02.699-07:002010-10-24T22:18:02.699-07:00lol it all depends on your point of view.

Were the 50 year old women in $200,000 debt because of focusing on their appearance? No. You have made weak links strong and exaggerated the whole idea of "sexism". If a woman feels bad about her appearance and wants to improve it then let her, if those women were in massive debt because of it dr phil would have treated them the same as the dude. You have to understand that not everyone has the same ideology as you and those women who WANTED makeovers got what they wanted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-1786388953713310022010-09-12T04:13:17.033-07:002010-09-12T04:13:17.033-07:00The sexism seems to conveniently swing on a pendul...The sexism seems to conveniently swing on a pendulum when it suits Dr Phil. I recently posted a blog and post concerning the Domestic Violence episode they did, as the more evidence which emerges, the more of a universal issue it is for both men and women as both victims and abusers. However the episode merely reinforced the old stereotypes of only men being abusers and only women being victims. <br /><br />It was even more emotional an issue for me as I was abused almost entirely by female family members from the ages of 6-29 and was the victim of several abusive relationships. <br /><br />Yet my blog post and episode comment were both completely censored.<br /><br />Does he give no thought to the number of abused children out there who are abused in addition to their parents, or people living in fear and suffering in silence because they know they'll be villified the moment they speak out purely because their abuser is female? Clearly not.<br /><br />As all forms of child abuse are equally evil as are all forms of child abuse enabling; in a very real way, what they are doing by promoting that message is no different to holding down a 5 year old while an abuser proceeds to molest or rape them. <br /><br />Yet so much of society is too cowardly to accept this harsh yet accurate truth.bowspearerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734475151770510228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-85578875844419270982009-01-07T07:51:00.000-08:002009-01-07T07:51:00.000-08:00Dr. Phil show has "dummied" down each season.

I loved the therapy sessions.<BR/><BR/>Now it seems like it's all about shock factor. More time is spent on the problem then the solution.<BR/><BR/>The beauty segment with Robin was nothing but a giant infomercial. She looks like plastic. I honestly thought she was MUCH older then 55. And the woman from Bold and Beautiful ....WHAT was she thinking in her outfit? WHY does she always wear a wig? Does anyone know?<BR/><BR/>harpyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-62888713987260982902008-05-18T21:49:00.000-07:002008-05-18T21:49:00.000-07:00Thank you for your post.

Sometimes I feel so frusterated and alone when I notice something like this - and I couldn't have exposed the sexist ridiculousness of these daytime shows (even though I am guilty of watching them when time permits) better.surfacinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164385736117547005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-42709502090252870322008-01-16T10:20:00.000-08:002008-01-16T10:20:00.000-08:00Great post!Great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-29975984239605563642008-01-16T08:26:00.000-08:002008-01-16T08:26:00.000-08:00oh my goodness!

I wish that someone else can talk to these women to try and undo the damage that this "dr" did - telling these women that a makeover is all it takes for happiness is setting them up to fail. Yes, it's incredibly sexist but it is also very much unethical. If Dr. Phil is indeed a psychologist he should know better... Is Dr. Phil a real doctor? i've been trying to find out but the internet is full of info one way or the other... Anyway, great post, as always :)Radical Remindershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09155472776262393597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006133754103433895.post-80349546854100356202008-01-14T22:53:00.000-08:002008-01-14T22:53:00.000-08:00It is!
