Make no mistake; sexist shit manufactured and sold to the public as empowerment for women is bullshit.

Reality based television show looking for "Pussycat Dolls" to do whatever it is that these dolls do.

For the uninitiated, the Pussycat Dolls are a female singing group whose six members slither through their music videos dressed like Barbie’s nasty cousins. In their best known song they ask the musical question: “Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?”

McG, the music producer and film director who is an executive producer of “Pussycat Dolls Present" says:

"The Dolls are simply making a heartfelt inquiry: “It’s just like saying, ‘Don’t you wish your girlfriend could be free and comfortable in her own skin and do her own thing, like me?’ ”

And when the question of whether or not this might be a step backwards for women, Robin Antin, founder of the dolls, became defensive, invoking female role models who follow the Dolls by saying:

There’s a reason why people like Scarlett Johansson, Gwen Stefani, Cameron Diaz have all been so interested in what Pussycat Dolls is all about,” she said. “They feel that it is empowering to get up there and dress up like a Doll. It’s fun, and it’s something that every girl in the world — she may think one thing, but I think inside every girl in the world wants to do it.”

But what do I know-I'm probably just jeolous, cuz I'm just an hairy-armpitted man-hater.
