Do You Know A Woman Obsessed with Being Pregnant?

According to Tyra and her producers, this woman obsessed will be characterized by “unvoiced jealousy,” silent “desperation” and will walk around “disappointed and heartbroken.” This woman uses “extreme methods” and has spent a lot of money chasing this dream of motherhood.

Because she is so altruistic, Tyra wants to give you, the caring friend of a misguided infertile, a forum in which to tell her “she needs to stop the emotional and physical stress on her body and seriously consider adoption or a surrogate alternative.”

Because, obviously, adoption and surrogacy are so frigging easy.

The description of the episode is shocking when contrasted with the request that the Tyra Banks show sent to Resolve earlier this week which looked like this:

The producers of the Tyra Banks Show are looking for women and men in the New York City area to share their experiences coping with infertility on an upcoming show. They are interested in hearing from both couples and women and men individually on how you’ve dealt with the emotional ups and downs of infertility and found inspiration to keep trying. The show will be taped on January 10 in New York City…

Thing is, I was actually going to post this casting call here when I saw it on Resolve’s site. But then I remembered a scenario from college, in which several feminist leaders on campus were invited to talk on another talk show – free trip to NYC, all expenses paid, a forum for your most important issues, right? Only to find that they had been totally set up. The episode was not about strong young women, it was meant to attack the idea of the “militant feminist,” this most unfeminine of females, ones that are actually willing to stand up for injustice and bullshit.

This, dear Tyra, is bullshit. And for some reason, I sensed malicious intent from the get go.

NYC Phoenix was in the audience. Here is her first hand report.

Mel from Stirrup Queens has already contacted Resolve. Resolve assured her that they were just as surprised at the blurb and were addressing things with the Tyra Banks Show.

Dozens of women (fertile and infertile. There should be no distinction here) have already contacted Tyra and the Show expressing their outrage. I am going to do the same, as soon as I calm the hell down.
