Gender Roles


On The Today Show this morning Meredith Vieira made her debut. On her first day she acted like the humble shy bashful innocent school girl. Or at least that is the impression I got.

Which I think is not her at all. After she feels at home there I think she will be an aggressive interviewer that knows her interviewee.

What did I expect on her first day? I think to get the approval rating she knew she had to play her sex role.

If it was my first day being co-host of The Today Show I am sure I would feel the need to play the role of a jock.

I was on the treadmill watching Meredith on her first day.

During a commercial I channel checked the movie channels and came across the movie “Elvira and Haunted Hills”.

There was Elvira in her ghostly black Addams Family dress with the slit up to the hip and her cleavage almost totally exposed and her making corny one-liners wise-cracks… plus the movie had “anything goes” kind of humor. I instantly forgot about Meredith.

Talk about roles.
