When Ben goes out for whatever reason, I've been turning on the TV and watching Lifetime shows. This is a strange channel. "Gay, Straight or Taken" is a dating show where a woman goes out with three men - one is gay, one is straight with a girlfriend and the third is straight and available. Through a series of activities, she gets to know the men, and we, the viewers, realize that it's really hard to pigeonhole men like that. On "Look Good Naked," heavy women who hate their bodies go through exercises that show them how distorted their views of themselves are. There are tears.

It's already happening, mom. A little bit at a time.

The Lifetime network is the only place one can view The Golden Girls. I'm not sure I've ever watched anything else on that channel. The targeting that cable channels are doing is really intense. They are a "women's network" with some specific demographic in mind. I bet you fit the "female" part. And thusly you watch it, and wonder why on earth it exists.
...I cannot imagine any male watching overweight women come to terms with their bodies. That is possibly the most genderspecific show I've ever heard of.
