Misogyny on ‘Wife Swap’

I’m new to this blogging deal, and I want to share with everyone some misogyny I witnessed today on the television.  I was actually reading Jessica’s Full Frontal Feminism (which is amazing, by the way) while ‘Wife Swap’ was on the tv.  I’m reading, okay, not really paying attention to the show, until one of the husbands on the show said this: “A woman is like a puppy dog.  You give her a treat when she does something right.”  I looked up from my book and said, “What?!”  Of course this guy is a complete control freak.  And he thinks that women are dogs.  That’s what he said.  We’re just like dogs.  Now, I love puppies.  They’re cute, soft, and playful.  But he wasn’t comparing women to puppies in a good way.  This is obviously a man that believes women are to be controlled by their husbands and this really ticked me off.

What do you guys think?
