Feminity?

I

I was looking at the other post and most classmates used TV shows that portrayed women in a seductive manner. Well, I decided to go the opposite route and what is the total opposite of Real Housewives and Love & Hip Hop? ..... Here Comes Honey Boo Boo! The question is how does a woman like June… or Pumpkin… or Chubbs...or Chickadee portray a woman's role in society. This show was constantly being criticized for the cast irrational behavior particularly the women in the show. Women based talk shows like The View would attack this show because it was degrading for women. The interesting thing about this show is that this is how the women of Honey Boo Boo live their lives, they were not showing out for television, they were not reading a script, this is how the women went about their daily lives and were being criticized for it. Kaplan presents the term imperial isolation and essentially it means women get their power from being separated from the world. Mama June is a stay at home mom while the father “Sugar Bear” goes to work to provide for the family. Her “imperial isolation” is being the stay at home mom for her children. She is not your typical woman, but she still has characteristics of what a woman is considered to be.
