In response to a question about her appreciation for The Real Housewives reality TV franchise, critic Camille Paglia, author of Glittering Images, said that she derives a number of different pleasures from the series. The shot-making and editing offer technical pleasures, she said. But she also likened the shows to watching the Discovery channel—seeing a cheetah stalk a gazelle. These shows show "the authentic ferocious energies of female sexuality," she said, contrasting her view of the program with Gloria Steinem's. The show also proves to her that women dress not for men but for other women.
