Shout out to Jennifer Pozner…

…of Women In Media and News. We found each other on twitter (@jennpozner and @feministfatale) and she rocks! She’s working on a new book on reality shows, Reality Bites Back.

Check out her article on women on reality TV. Why do they all have to be “hot, desperate and dumb?”

Seriously, check out some of the one dimensional representations of women on Rock of Love or The Tool Academy.  I just cringe. The cultural messages about what it means to be a woman is enough to make me scream.
