University of Tulsa Professor Accuses Youtube’s ‘Hot Ones’ Of Sexism

Professor Emily J. H. Contois wrote in a paper titled “The spicy spectacular: food, gender, and celebrity on Hot Ones,” published in the journal Feminist Media Studies, where she says the show “creates, maintains, and manipulates inequitable gender hierarchies through the interrelated performances of gender, food consumption, and celebrity.” That’s right, society doesn’t accept the idea of women eating spicy foods, and that is the reason that only eleven women have appeared as contestants on the show so far.

The patriarchy is all powerful it seems.

Women, she argues, know that they don’t really stand a chance on Hot Ones, because gender binaries “create power hierarchies by feminizing dainty, light, and sweet flavors and foods, eaten in small portions with restraint.”

WTF?

I want some of whatever she's smoking. Wait, is that a hand rolled cig in her hand in the pic?

Laugh now…this person is teaching your kids

Scary thought, but presumably only if they major in women's studies.

Just once, I want someone to look at the camera, say "Emily Contois, I don't care what you think" and continue the show. If they bow to her, the next step is "That show doesn't have enough of X minority" in some sort of Gotta-Catch-'Em-All process of shitting on anything they can lay their eyes on.

I'm not a fan of Sean Evans' interview style, but I like several of the guests, and it's fun to see them sweat because I like spicy food. This tendency of putting their tails between their legs and playing into the accusations gives assholes like this professor happens way too often.

These people see sexism everywhere but where it actually exists.

Maybe they have reached out to celebrity women and they have declined the invitation?

Ah yes of course. This show is totally sexist... right...

Just a month ago, they had actress-turned-feminism-activist and champion of misandry, Natalie Portman, on there.
