The Public Intellectual, Pretoria: must express my disdain at the most recent episode of the so called "anti-dating" show Vixens, which airs on the Vuzu channel.

The show features men who are in serious relationships having those relationships tested by living with a group of "sexy" women who will do anything to "tempt" him in order to measure how much trust and loyalty there is in the relationship.

Each vixen has to kiss the male participant if they wish to be immune from expulsion from the house - leading to such shameful behaviour as two "vixens" forcing themselves on the man by licking him and kissing him repeatedly, despite clear indication that he does not welcome the advances.

If women want to be respected and not undermined and objectified, they have to react with shock and revulsion to these openly disrespectful and demeaning shows.

Their vulgar expressions of sexuality undermine the kind of society we should strive for, that rejects patriarchy and the subjugation of women. The show is not even entertaining!
