The Bachelor is an "anti-woman embarrassment," and should be dumped in the #MeToo and Time's Up era

The Hollywood Reporter

Allison Winn Scotch, a Bachelor franchise superfan until she quit watching five years, says "I found that I felt liberated from those two hours on Monday which fueled a certain toxicity in my life. What can I tweet that will be both hilarious and cutting and people will RT the most?  I felt better about my place as a woman in the world, not snarking or disparaging other women in public (or at all) and not endorsing a show that got off on humiliating its contestants, especially the female ones. And this is only my sense and I speak only for me, but it’s tough to reconcile being a champion for #MeToo and Time’s Up and then frantically tweeting comments about other women every Monday evening."
