...MGTOW!

I know nothing about this story line, but I would I be right in thinking the male character will probably either 'see sense' and get married to the woman or get assaulted/publicily humiliated by the woman as 'justified revenge'?
Soap plots are usually pretty predictable and tedious.

Quote from Major Tom

Soap plots are usually pretty predictable and tedious.

Yeps. Very true.

However, one that did break the mould was a storyline in Eastenders where Ian whatshisname had the snip, and then his missus got pregnant by another man and pretended it was his...cuckolded!
But he was on top of it the whole time.
I don't know the outcomes, as I didn't watch the programme often then, nor now, but there was a custody fight, and I think he won.

There's seems to be some kind of inbuilt sensitivity to 'Coronation Street'.
Native-born Brits can emmigrate for several decades or simply go into hiding. But after a few episodes they quickly understand what's going on.

Depending on where they've been in their absence, they either empathise or vomit.

Me, I merely gaze in wonder at the ability of the scriptwriters to fool all of the people all of the time. Eat you heart out Abe!

I see a proliferation of particularly females and impressionable young girls, who probably not even consciously realizing how they assimilate a lot of the social "conflictory" imagery that are presented in shows like coronation st. It reinforces and validates bad female behaviour, violence and 'princess entitlement mentality' and consistently presents men as buffoons, unfeeling, cads, always wrong and entrenched in a perpetual cycle of apologising (regardless of circumstance).

Women (mostly) are like sheep, their herd-like in how they behave and react - this is why companies are able to market their products and convince women firstly they "need" their product and secondly it's going to transform their life (duh). My point is women and 'impressionable young girls' (more so) take their "social cues" from the media and incorporate this confusing (selective) regurgitation into their own real world. Outcome = disaster, especially in a social context trying to translate the ideological trash they have digested into relationships and interactions with men.

It's also important for every MRA to continue complaining to tv companies, writers, directors, ad agencies even actors/actresses. Why? well do we want the next generation of young impressionable girls to also hate all things male - even without being able to express or quantify as to why (frightening huh). Or do we want a generation of open-minded, feminine, independant, true equalitarians and women devoid of hatred in their hearts.

Coronation Street looms like an idol over the landscape of British TV.
Every programme attempts to model the soap formula and incorporate it in order to gain wide reaching success amongst female viewers.
The Bill, long a half hour series dealing with crime and justice becomes an hour long relationship-fest dealing with "characters" and "feelings" rather than fast-moving plot.

Casualty is successful not for its medical dilemmas and insight into the profession, but for it's soapy aspects, complete with scantily clad A&E receptionists discussing their latest "relationship" with a member of staff.
Viewers tune in for their hit of gossip and emotional content.

Even Doctor Who, that last bastion of fantasy programming in the UK and long a little boy's fantasy; all aliens and adventure insists on tying itself down to a London council estate and the "real people" who occupy it. The central character, a mysterious alien who travels with a young human companion becomes a romantic figure rather than a paternal one (afterall, a paternal character would be creepy, wouldn't it?) as we wouldn't want to lose those majority female viewers!

The male perspective and interest has disappeared from our screens to be replaced by cardboard cutout "men" who defer to their female bosses and apologise for their inbuilt shortcomings as the goddesses giggle themselves silly.

Where are the wise male mentors who have seen the world and can see through the antics of females? They've retired.

They're consigned to a more "primitive" period of history or have been rehabilitated by politically correct orthodoxy into "new men" who dutifully shutup when the women wish to speak, or risk a tongue lashing from the "empowered" bitch.

Personally it all just makes me feel very tired.

a round of applause for errant knight's post!
I'd get a round of beers in too, but a) I don't drink, b) I'm a tight git.
