Summary: White woman walks around town, sometimes eating unhealthy food (ice cream sundaes, etc). Thin white man follows her, and narrates his stalking — "I investigate people. I spy on them. I watch their every move. I dig through their lives. I look inside, so I can help them change the outside." When she walks into her house, he's there, with her husband — he introduces himself, and says, "I'm here to save your life."

Because, you know, she's fat.

I thought Lifetime was mostly about shows that showed men abusing women in some way.  Regardless of whether the women overcomes this abuse is not particularly important -- the problem is that the network normalizes the idea that men treat women in this way, inciting fear and despair beyond what reality warrants (as ugly as reality can be).

Or am I wrong?

So this would mean no more CSI, Law and Order, Bones, etc etc etc... thank God some elements of the First Amedment remain. If you don't like whats on TV tune into a different station, or better yet turn off the TV and head outside for a while!!!
