In a Man's World

The first episode was great. I'd love to try that but with my mouth, I’d probably get my ass kicked.

"Executive producer Viola Davis' bold social experiment will be an eye-opening experience for viewers.

Bravo's new event series In a Man's World will follow four women as they temporarily morph into men to see how the other gender lives when it premieres Tuesday, October 1 at 10/9c. With the help of the Academy Award-winning Special Effects make-up team of Lou and Dave Elsey, as well as voice and movement coaches, these women will be trained on to walk, talk, and look like men in order to go undercover for two days to experience what life is like for guys.

Each episode of In a Man's World, which comes from executive producer Viola Davis, will follow one woman, from a pro pool player to a pastor, as she explores the differences in what life is like for men and women in society, their careers, and their cultures. The ladies will go about their daily lives at work and home, even fooling their loved ones with their new male alter egos."

Can't see the trailer. I guess the real test is if one of the disguised can seduce another woman into the sack. A surprise in waiting for sure, in fact there's even the possibility of the seduced being a guy in drag. Make for some interesting moments but will they go that far? 

You know SS, glad I grew up when I did.....How'd it go?..... "and you knew what you were then, girls were girls, and men were men" ....I'd sing it for ya but internet has limits. I can still see Archie & Edith at the piano.

Is the show going to have to revisit Sigmund re some kind of envy?

I think most guys can pick out a guy in drag but a female as a man might be tougher. In some places it's even tougher even if no attempt to disguise. If they have to 'go' on location, which washroom do they pick?

The ladies who grace the pages of SI or any of the skin mags....do they worry about this stuff?

LOL, interesting way to expose the double standards of the andro-realm. 

So there really is a massive makeover and preparation/training extensive enough to fool people -- it's not like everyone interacted with knowingly participating in a simulation (the latter would kill the whole motive behind this, anyway). Little surprise that women dominate the practice historically as far as a successful gender-imposter journey transpiring over weeks, months, years.

Before the incredible facial prosthetics of today, the reverse premise of men pretending to women would seem to be much more of a challenge (maybe it still is). The selected candidates for a TV-show tilted toward the young, the shorter, the skinny, and possibly Asian and Latino males? But OTOH, older overweight men have a lot going for them in the mammary department, and were probably well represented as much as any group during the Jerry Springer Show's run in telling their "limited to a couple of sex-acts" craving boyfriends a secret.*

* I see they were wearing neck bands in 1900 to hide the Adam's apple. Having something obscuring such all the time ought to be a giveaway, and yet some men in real life are like fictional Osgood, they don't notice it even when their repeat dates go bare-throated. Not to mention occasionally not caring about the discovery. "Well, nobody's perfect."

With the evolving public lavatory situation of who has rightful access to which -- and at the risk of sounding like a TERF via suggesting a small percentage of transvestite males can have ulterior motives (i.e., merely pretending to have gender identity issues) -- I guess I ought to start paying attention to things like that myself, that might have seemed less relevant in the past.

It's already been done.

My niece is legally married to another woman. The other gal tries extra hard to be manly whenever we all get together. Even my wife notices it. However it just doesn't work. I just want to tell her to go ahead and be herself but I don't want to insult. I find her way too emotional but I understand she's gone through a lot to get where they are today. Now I don't know if this is a woman thing but when it comes to drama, she can't help herself. Everything has drama attached to it, everyone is under suspicion, everyone is conspiring and on and on. I think she has some wrong ideas about men like, it's ok to be out late, be drinking with the boys and not call home, pacify the wife with gifts, be the sports guy, be the breadwinner, and all that shit. They actually have a child through sperm donor and my niece, the bio-mom in this case, is saddled with all the child rearing. No one saw that coming and to be honest I know more guys who have shared that duty with their wives than didn't. MY niece not happy at the moment, so should she be expecting a gift shortly?

It'd be an interesting thing to be a part of, but the moment it became a "reality" tv show it becomes apparent that, even if real and not at least partially scripted, the responses which make the final cut will be the more camera-worthy ones.

Funny that you mentioned that because William Finnegan was in another reality show.
