The Apprentice sexist rant

Is it me, or is there something sexist about this show. Three times in the fucking row, the women win. Don't get me wrong, the women do well in this show, but the 2nd time, the guys should have won. To me, this show is conveying to me that sexism against women is total bullshit and doesnt exist, as they are able to get their way through a little "sex sells" idea. How can women actually be unequal compared to men. I seriously think women have a greater advantage over men in aspects of getting what they want in society. Take for example clubs, women get special treatment. I dont know of any place where men get better treatment than women, so how does the whole inequality against women idea valid?

Anyways, back to the show. If the men don't win this week's challenge and the women consistently and continually use their "sexiness" to win instead of using business, im going to think this whole goddam show is rigged against men.

Obviously sex sells for women, but why not use some fucking business skills and brains instead, jesus

/rant over

If you were Donald Trump and you were going to shell out a huge salary for a job that a monkey could do, would you rather have a sneechy suckup male, or a hot voluptuous female to work with you?

first of all in real life women have an absolute disadvantage in buisness solely becuase of thier sex

this show on the otherhand is total BS the first three shows just shows how arbitrary the judgements are. the first one was total crap, it just "set back the womens rights movement 10 years" as that guy in the second episode said. They arent beating the men becuase thier better thier beating them becuase thier whoring themselves to advance in buisness.

total bs.

Yeah I have to agree here, although I also feel the need to point out (as was previously mentioned) that sex does indeed sell, and not just on camera. Think about it...on average, how many guys are the first to approach girls? Once again, on average, how many girls are the first to approach guys? See what I'm getting at?

If you're a guy and trying to sell something, your best resource is to be as charming and knowledgeable as you can be (being dishonest helps too, in the short run at least). If a guy walks up to a guy and tries to sell him something, he's probably gonna get brushed off. If a guy walks up to a girl and tries the same thing, chances are he's going to get brushed off as well. And that's because females (generally speaking) are more often approached by males than vice-versa. So it's something they're more used to.

If you're a girl and trying to sell the same thing, you've got at least a majority of the straight male market, simply because most straight guys don't get approached by females.

And don't give me any shit about "I'm a guy and I get chicks all the time without even trying." Guess what? I don't care. Not only that, but I was speaking in very (very) general terms.

Would rather have someone who knows what the fuck they are doing. Donald's already got some hot european as a girlfriend. Im sure he could get just about any women to be his hoe anyways.

Yep i agree, the show is BS. I would rather see the women beat the men through smart tactics instead of whoring themselves.



The show "The apprentice" is a new addition to NBC thursday primetime schedule. The winner will be in charge of one of Trump's businesses and will earn about $750K american dollars a year. Teams split between men and women.

So wouldn't this mean that women have a better advantage over men?

If thats true, then women have no inequality in society, as media and women portray it to be.

Not quite. You're extrapolating my previous post into something larger than I ever said...the equivalent of taking things out of context. What I was trying to say was that if a male and a female are going to try to sell people things face to face...on the street...I believe the females will do a better job for the aforementioned reasons. Course you have to be a hot female, otherwise it doesn't work
