You know what else is funny? These male shows like Maury. If a woman cheats, music plays like the "Titanic" and she's cheered up. Men, no matter what situation, are always booed when they come on stage and "Die Hard" style music plays in the background.

I don't know if the producers ask the audience to boo the men when they come on stage.

How can you believe or not believe in the personal choices of others, especially people you don't even know? That seems like an exercise in futility.

Um, it's called a target demographic, WoC. Whom do you think is watching these shows?

TV is a business, not a nonprofit counseling service.

Look at magazines like Men's Health for further proof.

Some people don't believe in mixed relationships, so why can't some disagree with opposite-sex friendships?

Yes. And they tell them when to clap, when to laugh, etc., etc. That's pretty much standard for any "live" telecast show...AFAIK.

I'm not as up on Maury and the like as I don't know that I've ever seen that show but I'm 99% positive it's a "live"-taped talk show (?) and if it is, then yes, the audience definitely is told when to boo.

Sure but imagine the outcry if it was the opposite. Just because it's profitable doesn't make it right.

If a man cries foul against being discriminated against he doesn't get sympathy he gets a lot of angry, defensive women and smug men.

Stats? Backup? Of any kind at all?

The people who don't believe in mixed relationships are typically noted as ignoramuses. It's none of their business. I'm not sure why you would care what others are doing. Maybe get your own life?

As misandric as that show is, the only reason I watch it because I love hearing "You are NOT the father!" That's the only reason.
