Who Wants to Be a Tool of the Patriarchal System?

Much to my chagrin, I have been watching Super Millionaire with my parents the past few days. While I do not particularly enjoy the show, or Regis Philbin, I do feel that it is necessary to comment on one of the new lifelines offered to contestants. The three wise men lifeline is a ridiculous attempt at political correctness and gender equality. Why would an internationally famous television program use a term that could be construed as connoting gender inequality and representing a bias in favour judeo-christian mythology and religious practice? To make matters worse, the powers that be have decided, probably in an effort to quell feminist criticism, to include one woman in the set of three wise men. Are these women not really women? Is it impossible for wisdom and femininity or womanhood to be reconciled? Is it legal to have women filling a role created for a man? The show is doing a poor job of covering up its oversight. Regis Philbin often fumbles through his introduction of the three wise men, calling them the three wise people or the two wise men and one wise women. Please note: the poor grammar in the previous phrase was not a personal oversight, but an example of Regis Philbin's inadequacy, copied verbatim. I sometimes wonder if quality of life is really much worse than it actually seems, even to someone who tries to keep her or himself educated on the reality of life in the United States. I assume that there are certain standards in the United States the are always upheld, but apparently Americans are not domestically demanding the rights that they seem to be so eager to impose upon others.
