"What's with Indian Men?": An objectionable sexist, anti-men TV show

Just watched a program called "What's with Indian Men?" on Fox History & Entertainment. It's a highly sexist and anti-men show. Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=188546051185179

Two females, Indrani Das Gupta and Sugandha Garg, vent their personal sexist bias against men. It reinforces the stereotype against men. I have lodged a complaint against the show to the Indian Broadcasting Foundation. I strongly encourage you to do so. The link for the online complaint form is http://ibfindia.com/onlineform.php

You be the judge. I confess to not having watched them all. :)

I did watch two episodes and didn't see anything like the kind of thing we have seen on The Talk-- not even close. I think this is more of a travel show. The hosts are young women so they seem to be gimmicking this a bit by saying "What's with Indian Men?" more in the sense of going around to see what they (Indian men) are doing in various places in India-- a not-too-uncommon curiosity about the opposite sex found especially in younger people. Really, unless you can find an episode or two that has something really nasty about men in it, I am not so sure this warrants objection. But as I said at the start of this comment, "You be the judge."
