Snapped

"Oxygen's hit true crime series Snapped profiles the fascinating cases of women accused of murder."

That's how they describe their show on the webpage itself.

That the Oh! homepage is all decked out in purple rimming screeching videos of women on talk shows edged up against such commands as "Take the Love, American Style Quiz Now!" should be no great surprise.

And we've long gotten over the prime sexism of a network dedicated to one gender or another. Maybe the women need a dedicated television network, who really knows.

What is a touch surprising is that they would trumpet all the bad girls who murder people. Of course they call the cases "fascinating", and these women are only "accused" (enough to damn any man, of course).

Unless you consider that women, especially those in the anti-male Women's Movement, want to catch up in every category, good or bad. So what if smoking kills you? "We demand the right to kill ourselves smoking!" So what if cursing is ugly and sends you to Hell. "We demand the right to go to Hell cursing!" So what if fighting in combat is a grisly, miserable thing. "We demand the right to be brutalized at the front line!" So what if the work-a-day career world is a grind. "We demand to right to be equally as unhappy as the male working stiffs!"

So why wouldn't they want to show they have an equal number of murderesses? Of course they would, they want equality in all areas.

There's also a tendency on the part of females to brag about their bad side: being bitches. You'll see it on the t-shirts and bumper stickers. They proudly assert their right to be ball-busting beasts. Why not brag about being murderesses, too?

Of course, these are only women who have "snapped". When a male commits murder he does it out of wanton evil, because he's a brutal savage to begin with without any redeeming features. But, for a woman to commit murder she must snap emotionally (or, perhaps, spiritually).

Unfortunately for the shows producers, the murderesses they typically portray show no remorse, no madness. They show not the slightest compunction regarding taking the life of another in the most gruesome ways.
