Do you think Rocketboom would be as popular as it is today if Amanda
Congdon were an obese wart-faced 50-year-old alpha-male? I highly
doubt it. The truth is that it is the viewers that determine what
works... and producers want to use a format that is _proven_ to work.
And... New Flash: Sexy girls work... (this coming from a pro).
The female body is a beautiful thing to both males and females. It is
comforting and nurturing. There is a big difference between the
physiology of males and females... and if you think it is sexist to
acknowledge those differences and use them to give the general public
what they _want_ to see in a program in order to secure more viewers,
you are off your rocker.
Forget sexism, be a humanist.
