Your View: Time to Change

October 15, 2005

By P. Keightley

I DON’T know why people constantly moan about talent shows on TV.

Shows like the X Factor have brought live performing back to prime-time viewing which can only be a good thing in my view as we are a nation of music lovers.

But also as a mother, I resent comments like ‘housewive’s choice’ being used in connection with these kind of shows. It appears to imply that women lose their brains after having children. We never hear “the househusband’s choice”.

It’s time for attitudes to change in my opinion
