The show desperate housewives is a televsion show that promotes all the fears that middle age woman are faced with. It illustrates woman fear of weight gain; it also portrays woman as gold- diggers individuals that without men that are not vauled as much. Altough the show is based on four very different woman it provides us with real life issues that many woman are suffering in silience today. For instance the character of Lynette a woman who is asked by her husband to leave her job and focus on raising her children. She is playing a a real problem which many woman are currently facing. Another charectar that is highly critized is the Eva Longoria she play a gold- digging middle age woman who is having a affair because she is not happy in her marriage. Although I do not agree the way the are portraying the message. I do believe that desperate housewives is a programs that is very enlightening and entertaining way of illustrating the issues that a lot of woman are facing. I am not suggesting that are lives are as extreme as these charectars; however they do provide insight in very real dilemias.
