Reality shows all have dumb, repetitive premises, but this is one we all paid for, and it’s another depressing indicator of how much of feminism’s progress has been erased in the last twenty years. Episode 1:

With a mix of excitement and trepidation, the town of Hardisty, Alberta gets ready for a week without Mom. The men’s bravado speaks volumes as the guys discuss their best (and worst) case scenarios without wives, girlfriends, sisters and mothers around. Some men plan to party, others hope to connect with their kids and a few just hope they survive…!

I don’t know. If they can’t manage to look after themselves, as they likely did before they were married, but then unlearned, or after anyone else, like their spawn, do we really want them to survive?
