Written response to "Think like a Critic: a Review of Steve Harvey's Movie"

Hey Y'all.... I'm Back!  How have you been? Good? 

So what happens when you let Jamese from Educated Hood Chicks on your Podcast...A great debate on why Steve Harvey is out to ruin our people... Wait, I need to start from the beginning... 

So I have a Podcast called Now In Session with Monika and Bruce. We're pretty good. We talk about Politics and Leadership and History.. Pretty Much any nerdy thing you can think of said by the girl you hung out with to raise the GPA of your crew... 

So It was decided that we should review the movie "Think Like a Man."  Jamese doesn't like Harvey, and I dislike him even more. Well, that's an understatement... If he lost everything and was relegated to a job consisting of painting himself silver and standing completely still for money at Landmarks, I would appreciate it. I don't know if my Podcast partner, Bruce likes him or not. I do know he loves my reaction to him...Sucka...

Here's the thing: If "Think Like a Man, Act Like a Lady" were a book of fiction, if women weren't believing that his opinions should be taken into more consideration than their own common sense I probably would have LOVED the movie. I LOVE Romantic Comedies even stupid ones (and aren't they all stupid really?). The problem is that not only are the men shown as if they don't have any issues at all. The women are shown as manipulators and the men are shown to be jackasses strictly for defensive purposes only...Seriously?  I simply can't with this... 
It is my belief that Steve Harvey is one of many that insert their patriarchy with a joke and hopefully women will go back to how "women ought to be." I don't claim to be a feminist. I'm just a chick that likes to point out crazy upon occasion. But the "Steve Harvey" technique in Playing the game seems to be like dumbing yourself down at the job so your Co-workers don't feel threatened.  But hey, That could also be why I don't have a man, so there's also that...


Right before the podcast, It was announced that 20 year Bay Area Radio Personality, Kevin Brown is going to be replaced by the Steve Harvey Show, TODAY. That doesn't help. Its like there is a full court press on the guy, It is killing me. Besides the fact that the Bay Area will no longer have a live Community Voice (crucial in engagement), but that Harvey can spread his virus... I mean wisdom to the Bay is crazy.  As I said on the Podcast: You still think he's harmless?
