I've only been watching since Matt James' season - and maybe this has taken me longer than it should have - but I'm really starting to notice and question the way that TPTB are portraying women.

I've noticed a pattern of women on BIP being portrayed as over-emotional, crazy, and out of control. They edit in a way that is humiliating for the woman, even if the woman didn't do anything wrong. They try to make it look like they have no reason to feel/act the way that they do. When a woman is upset, we start getting footage of other contestants claiming that things are about to get crazy and the woman is going to go off the rails. TPTB claim that a "storm" is coming and give that woman a name.

I really got offended on Lace's behalf for TPTB acting like she was insane for being upset that Rodney developed a connection with someone else. Calling her "hurricane Lace", acting like she was about to blow up, having the other contestants join in on it too... She was just heartbroken and she did nothing wrong.

I'm wondering - is everyone else seeing this the same way? What unfair treatment have you noticed towards women on the show - both the Bachelor/ette and BIP? Feel free to disagree as well. I'm interested in hearing different perspectives.
