What's in your binder? Grad School Reality TV time

This week we watched a presidential hopeful place our entire gender in an office product. The world looked like a bleak place, so then we learned some aggression defense tactics.

How does the world reward our proactivity? By giving our female graduate student demographic our own reality TV show, of course! We may spend long days of studying from our course binders, writing down experiments in our lab binder, and making dinners from our recipe binder, so clearly the TV networks think we are lacking binders full of men.

Top investigator AgentR found this: Boston's own casting call! This casting call only raises more questions. What is the genre of "docu-reality?" Is pursuing an MRS degree really the adventure of our lives? It appears that falling in love with a career path is an acceptable option? We may all have a different opinion on the necessity, relevance, and offensiveness of this show, but it will be difficult trying to stop me from watching.
