What is Rock of Love?

Rock of Love is a show aired on VH1 that is hosted by former Poison front man Bret Michaels. He’s seeking “love”. Women on the show compete in “challenges” to prove their love to Bret and win a date and the chance to move in with Bret and become his girlfriend.

Feministic View

• Cast members are picked for their looks.

• Cast is voted off because of looks, and sexuality towards Bret.

• Women in the cast are manipulated by Bret to act the way HE wants them to act.

Effect on Younger Generation

• Adolescents who watch the show are influenced to act differently by watching the show.– Younger girls get the idea

that they need to have larger breasts/ be more attractive to become successful in life (or have a rock star boyfriend).

Challenges?

• On this show, women have “challenges” that they must complete to gain a date with Bret.

• The challenges usually are sexual or have sexual undertones and exploit the women.

Exploitation of Women

• Characters almost feel pressured to do acts that they do not want to do.– Cast member Heather

is manipulated to get a tattoo written “Bret” on her body.

Business V. Emotion

• The show has three seasons and the show is clearly being carried on the way it is to rake in money.

• The girls hearts are being broken for entertainment and money.

Male View

• This show is basically just a bunch of crazy girls who want to be a rock star’s girlfriend.

• They look good, but they’re not very smart.

• Girls overreact to stupid things.

Censored!

Overall Feminine View

• This show is demoralizing to women.• Women are exploited for entertainment and

money and their emotions are hurt in the process.• This show gives women everywhere false hope

and makes young girls feel that they need to look and act like the women on this show to get noticed.

Conclusion

This show is ridiculous. It is stupid and needs to be stopped. That’s about

it.
