Real Housewives of Vancouver: Going out with a bang

http://www2.macleans.ca/2013/04/10/real-housewives-of-vancouver-going-out-with-a-bang/

 After reading this and all the comments (be sure to read the comments below the article) maybe now they'll finally get rid of this show. Or at least re-cast with some "healthy" women.  So sad...sad for women, sad for men, children, sad for Vancouverites, just plain SAD!! Stop Miss Representing Women!! and Vancouver!

 
Original Post: April 5/2012

SHAME ON "The Real Housewives of Vancouver "  television program and "Slice" too. SHAME ON YOU for MISS REPRESENTING women and especially the women of Vancouver.

I haven't been able to sleep well all night as this post was begging to be written so I got up early to share it. First let me tell you that I have seen ads for "Real Housewives for Whereever" and watched a little bit and I was more offended than impressed by what I saw, so I have never watched more than a 10 -20 minutes.

But when I saw that they were doing a show in Vancouver, my first reaction was "OH NO!" how could they!! So I had to watch and see how bad it would be. I knew there would be lots of Vancouver scenery and so I was curious.

So last night I watched and it lived up to every bit of it's reputation.

Shameful.

I just have a few comments and then I will put this puppy to bed and get on with my day. First, Jody you are a bully.  It doesn't matter if you have money or not, if you are self made or not, it's not appropriate to tell someone in front of a TV camera and a zillion viewers that a person  is an idiot and that they need therapy. It doesn't take rocket science to know that compassion is required.

That conversation should be held quietly together and in a very quiet comforting way suggest to that person they could get some counseling. You were so condescending and righteous it was really disturbing and sad.

Christina OMG, obviously you've suffered some kind of abuse that has put you where you are today. SHAME ON everyone for allowing that whole birthday party scene to be on TV. What does that say to everyone. Everything that women work so hard for to demonstrate to men, children, women, the world that we are intelligent powerful creative entities that deserve respect, flew out the window.

I seriously hope that you will be okay after this and you don't hurt yourself or others as I believe you need therapy and you have been damaged, but I believe you are a good person, you've just been hurt and abused and now it's all coming out in inappropriate ways.

For all the women on the REAL HOUSEWIVES OF VANCOUVER  with children, shame on you. How are those young men going to think after that. What will they think about women. How will they treat women. Badly, I imagine, because you MISS REPRESENTED US. You misrepresented all women on that show because in today's messed up society people believe what they see and this especially true in the media.

What did Jody say, something about you shouldn't judge until you walk in others shoes, OMG lady, do you hear yourself.  Why don't you go down to the DTES   http://www.dtes.ca/cms/and have a walk in the shoes around there.

And actually that's what I would like to say to all of you, since you have done all this damage to all women by misrepresenting us all so badly in the media, you should pay for your crimes by selling off some of those cars and houses and $1100 jeans and go make a difference.

I was trying to figure out why each of you did this, obviously Jody you want to promote your book and Mary you are trying to go back to singing, Christina your looking for someone new and I haven't figured out Ronnie or Reiko's agenda's but "WOW, all I can say was WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!"

Okay I've vented, I'm not saying I'm perfect or better or have all the answers or that I haven't  made stupid mistakes, because I have. What I am saying is that now that you have done this terrible thing please fix it.

The REAL WOMEN OF VANCOUVER and of EVERYWHERE DESERVE IT!! as well as their husband, children, parents, families, society and the world in general.

You have tons of money, so you have no excuse not to.
