Most reality shows that I have seen depict women in the most negative possible. They always show them as overly sexual and incapable of doing anything for themselves. In REAL life most women are very educated and successful. In my blog, I had posted about a show called Jersey Couture. This may be the only show that I have seen that depicts women in a good light is the show Jersey Couture. The two daughters on there always talk about their education and what they have studied, and show them passionate about working for the family business, a dress shop. As well as stll having a passion for what they went to school for, but to them family comes first. The one daughter is married and has a daughter; and sometimes outside of the store, she can be seen taking care of her daughter and the household, and the husband contributing. Also telling costumers, sometimes it is not about how much skin one can show. Being 'sexy' can also mean covering up. I also think it has a lot to do with what channel the reality show is aired. And this one is the Oxygen channel, not one like MTV or VH1. And compared to the Housewives and another show called Jerseylicious, I would say that Jersey Couture is more positive about women.
I think TV creates its own reality, and what it wants its viewers to see and how TV wants them to act. And some people honestly believe the "realness" of television and will live their lives by it. TV is their reality, and TV makes it seem just fine for others to act how they do.
