I'll post a more full report on this show tomorrow after the "male anatomy" episode has been shown, but I really just want to flag up that I'm deeply disgusted and troubled by it so far, on several levels. One of which I'll touch on briefly: when the presenters talked about what's normal for women's bodies, they didn't put it like that; they talked about "replacing 'porntastic' images of women with positive ones". Ren, if you're reading - I felt your rage at that phrasing as powerfully as if you'd seen that clip yourself!
The other thing I want to mention briefly about why it made me angry: the show had nothing to do with me. I'll explain what that means when I do my write-up tomorrow.
ETA: Here are the five instalments of the review of the whole series:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5

Comments Moderation Policy
This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
