do you think the lifetime network is a bad thing for women?

My husband calls Lifetime channel the I hate men channel. I think the movies are enjoyable for the most part and don't take them too seriously. I do enjoy the tv show Army wives.

I always enjoy watching LMN. Just another show to me....just as much as horror flicks. Just another form of popcorn entertainment.

I also love lifetime! I defintiely understand where you are coming from though, there are a lot of movies about abuse, stalking, etc. And I'm sure it leads to fear, but I try to keep in mind that there is a pretty small chance that most of those things will ever happen. I think it might be good in another light, because watching these movies makes me more suspicious, and I am more cautious. I know if I ever had a boyfriend who layed a finger on my violently I would kick him to the curb, and some of that attitude comes from seeing the stuff I see on movies. So they may cause fear, but probably also raise awareness. Some of them are based on true stories, and while it scares me, it also interests me, sometimes I even psychoanalyze the psycho's. haha I definitely don't think it's a bad thing for women, but I think it is bad to just casually watch it without thinking about what you are watching. LOL Most time time I get so into the movies that I literally yell and talk back to the tv! There are times when I am so mad that if I had a blood pressure check it would probably be up, that's how affected by movies I get! LOL

I think its important to remember that some of those movies are fiction, but yeah could happen. I think the channel is geared towards women to help empower us to handle things better and what to watch out for, but not necessarily to feed out fears as women.

What is shown on Lifetime is no worse than what airs on the other networks. My only real complaint in regards to Lifetime is that they no longer have "Blood Ties" in their lineup. That was the only reason I have found to watch Lifetime on a regular basis.

i love lifetime movies but i dont think its bad for you. i think we would still be paranoid if we didnt watch it. the movies do repeat theirselves and most of them have similiar plots. sometimes watching men cheating and leaving their wives makes me think that men will cheat on me. but dont always expect the things in the lifetime movies to happen to u and dont think that it cant happen to u

The only person I know who actually watches Lifetime is a 93 year old man! I'm not overly impressed with the Lifetime movies and find that a lot of them are as bad, if not worse, than a lot of soap operas (forgive me if you like either, JMO ). Women tend to like the stories and I do think that it probably encourages a lot of those suspicious thoughts. My mom knows someone who left her husband because he came home and acted like a character in a cheap romance that she was reading who ended up beating his wife and kids. I know it's all dependent on the person watching (and the lady who left her husband was a bit nuts), but I do think that you're right about the movies praying on fears of the 'common woman'. They're supposed to be entertainment, but there will always be those people who take television as deep philosophy.

well channels only press on thing which help them to raise them audiences so i never believe channels craps i know there some of it right but most of it not . i was on of big fans of watching talk show too but after while i discover that even talk show have a hidden hands to play it i hope you understand me . there is some ppl has a benefits to announce this kinds of news and to hide this also in lifetime they only play on the winning horses and they always says ppl love to watch that .
