Blachman: A brilliant Danish tv programme, built on the premise that "the female body is thirsting for man's words"

This country. So friendly, so happy, so fucked up, so conservative and so fucking leftist at the same time...

I think the reason a lot of women are lashing out vs this program is that they believe the hosts' criticism to be said on behalf of all men, when they are in fact only speaking for themselves. They see it as a public condemnation of a few specific flaws that the hosts do not like, when in reality, it is merely a showcase of the hosts' thoughts and a window into how men will typically discuss a woman's body.

edit: I guess you can ask me anything about living in feminist Scandinavia.

Its worth noting that Blachman was the non-PC judge on X-Factor.

The show was labeled as "two men talking about the naked female body", but it's a lot more. People seem to be outraged based on the trailers and media hype, not because they've seen the show.

Blachman & guest talk about themselves, porn, marginalization of masculinity, lack of male role models, positive/negative objectivization of women, differences between men and women, male self-realization, etc. etc. - and the female body standing before them, of course, but that's really the least of it. And they're unerringly positive about the naked form they're looking at.

The shitstorm surrounding the show is IMO a bit funny. Naked bits are OK on late-night TV as long as it's not porn, and their comments really can't offend anyone. Except for Swedish feminists, one of which tried to flip the script. Naturally, they almost immediately talk about his genitalia and how vulnerable and helpless it looks, sitting outside the body. IOW, the swede completely failed at copying the concept, and made something degrading.

It's a bit like the Mohammed-cartoon-crisis where a lot of people went berserk based on what their Imam said, not something they'd seen with their own eyes.

I think the real question is: The reaction to the show is certainly blue-pill, but is the show itself red pill?

I'm definitely stealing this line from one of Blachman's guests, Stan Hegeler:

I was once on a TV program and there was a fanatic feminist who spoke about how terrible it was to be a sex object.

And I said, "There is something worse than that."

"What's that?"

"Not being a sex object."
