it's tv. it's not real. if women go out and cheat just because they saw other women on TV do it and get away with it...then they have more issues than just commiting adultry.

I'm not talking glorification, I'm talking about condoning an unethical and immoral act for a single gender.


It's pure second wave feminism.

the shit they GLORIFY on Nip/Tuck are IMMORAL ACTS. I'm not just talking about plastic surgery...there's a whole story that has nothing to do with that on that show.

But what is the portrayal of it? Regret, guilt, legal repercussions, etc.

it's pretty much the "cool thing" to do.

sorry but, uhh, rape outweighs adultry, by far, on the unethical meter.

Nip/Tuck is on FX... Desperate Housewives is on ABC. Broadcast TV vs. Cable. Is FX even basic cable?

You said name a show...I named a show. And frankly, Nip/Tuck gets more viewers every week than most ABC, NBC, or CBS shows do.
