Revenge and masochism are virtually indistinguishable on Bravo’s new reality show-cum-“social experiment” In a Man’s World. The show takes rather normative-presenting feminine women and piles pounds of prosthetics onto them (and gives them some mannerism-training) to transform them into normative-presenting men. The idea behind doing so is... well, I’m not sure exactly what the idea is after watching Tuesday’s premiere. The show already operates with the understanding that misogyny is real, so exposing it via a contrast of how a person is treated when she’s perceived as a woman versus how she’s treated when she’s perceived as a man is at the very least redundant. But the show’s conceit makes it worse than that. The depicted audition for basic civility from men requires hours of prep work, which makes In a Man’s World a cartoonishly exaggerated reiteration of what many women put themselves through before leaving the house and entering the world world. It’s the same old bullshit but now even more of a burden to wade through.

The mannerism and speech training Emily endured reminded me of some conversion-therapy bullshit in its goal to sap her of her femininity. She was taught how to walk like a man, how to be terse like a man, how to refrain from kicking her leg up to the ceiling after she takes her shot like a man. “Just by virtue of decreasing your words, you were able to access your dude energy a little more,” said her speech teacher.
