What was the moment you realized mr phil was a quack?
For me it was when he had a man on the show who hit back after his wife assaulted him, and phil threatened to have the man arrested on stage if he got up and left while he was being humiliated and berated with things like:
“there’s no reason to ever hit a woman, not even if she has a knife” and “you’re a coward” and “you’re scum”.
That man was a victim of long term domestic violence and snapped, but instead of helping him phil exploited him in his moment of weakness.
That’s some dumbass sexist bullshit which was/is wrong on so many levels. First, it degrades women by equating them all with “delicate flowers” who are supposedly incapable of doing any damage. Second, it implies that domestic violence is acceptable, or at least not as serious, if a woman is the abuser and that a man, supposing the victim is a man, should not be allowed to defend himself.
For normal people, not to mention someone who sells himself as a sort of therapist, that’s some fucked up logic.
As a general rule, nobody should be hitting anyone else. Gender is irrelevant. If someone is assaulting you, and you are unable to get away, then you should absolutely fight back until your attacker stops attacking you. Once again, gender is irrelevant.
The fact that “Dr.” Phil’s tiny little brain can’t comprehend that is simply mind boggling.

Anyone who ran these shows ever is an ass. Talk shows were basically the precursor to annoying YouTubers today
Oprah is the Queen Mega Cunt of television. Hope that bitch rots for all of the harm she’s done to society.

Yes
Well yes and no. Gender is a social construct. You probably mean “(biological) sex,” which is very relevant.
