WOW. I have read many opinions/views on the show Manswers displayed on the Internet. I watched the show for the first time August '08. I will be writing a college paper about a source of media that displays a race/gender issue. I thought Manswers was a perfect topic of discussion considering all the diverse views. This will be very difficult to write from an analytical, versus bias, point of view. It seems like everyone out there either loves the show or hates it! But.... I did read one review from "Chris"about Manswers .... that basically said: 1. People are over-reacting. 2. The show actually made him, himself, feel slightly uncomfortable. 3. It degrades men, portraying them as horny slober-ers. 4. Spike TV channel is equivalent to men, as Oxygen channel is to ________. 5. It is all about varying perspectives, and overall context. In conclusion, that was the only review I liked. On a new topic, in college I am learning about modern stereotypes and I thought you might want to know a little bit about me before i give you my opinion. When reading other people's Manser internet reviews, I couldn't help but wonder if they were old, or young, male or female, where they lived, how much money they made, if they had kids, if they were feminist, if they were married, and how they dressed. FYI: I am 18. F. I just moved near Sacramento from Lake Tahoe. I don't have a job. No kids. 1 brother. 1 boyfriend. Divorced mother & father. Blonde. 5'8". 155. Lbs. College major: Art. Non-racist. I dress plain/girly/chick/surferish/skaterish. ... Now that you 'get the gist' and have naturally created a stereotype in your mind about 'who I am" as a person... I will give you my opinion about the show manswers: I couldn't believe it. I thought it was like the comedy-version of Myth-busters. Some of the questions asked have actually crossed my adolescent girl mind. I wouldn't watch the show with my mom. Maybe my dad. Possibly my brother. Definatly my..

What Parents Need to Know
About MANswers
Parents need to know that, without question, this show is not for kids. It's essentially an informational program of the "you've got questions, we've got answers" variety, but the questions are strictly of the type pondered by drunken college guys ("Can taking a dump kill a guy?" "How long can a guy live on beer alone?" "How can you get your girlfriend to be less bitchy?"). High schoolers may find it hysterical, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to let them watch a show that objectifies women, talks about bestiality and masturbation (and more!), and glorifies drinking.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what it means to treat other people with respect. Does this show treat its subjects respectfully? Does it matter whether those subjects are willingly participating in the issues and events the show covers (dwarf tossing, for example)?
- What messages does the show send about sex, alcohol, and other hot-button issues? Do you think producers hope teens will watch? Why or why not?

- My highlights are:
- Good role models
it's just a show.
It's just a funny show about random stuff that you've never thought to ask. Also, a show isn't going to inflluence your kids, you are. So if they screw up, it's your parenting skills.
