Lifetime just ordered a new series called The Week that Women Went, a show following a small South Carolina town that’ll send over 100 women out of town forcing men to take over their jobs and household chores for a week. It’s based on a format by BBC Worldwide productions, and it sounds amazing. Gender Swap!!! What a great social experiment! The plot kind of reminds me of that movie A Day Without a Mexican.

Can’t wait to see dudes try to scrub toilets, cook and change babies diapers!

Here are the women fleeing town:

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I’m sure given time all these guys could figure it out…just as, if pressed, I could figure out how to start the damn lawn mower. I don’t believe one gender is better than the other. The fact is it’s hard to run an entire household with only one person doing the work. Who does what is just details.

    They did this already in Canada a few years ago for two seasons. (For once, the US is copying Canadian shows and not the other way around.)

    It was actually quite interesting and rather sweet, but the concept can only really keep people’s interest for one season, then it’s basically over.

    It makes me think of the apartments so common with male college students: the carpets that had so much dried beer and other substances embedded in them that they were crispy, the black mold in the showers, the pile of dirty underwear that they would turn inside out and wear again before doing laundry. One week…..amateurs!

    One week isn’t that long. My guess is they’ll just let the dishes and laundry pile up and the house get dingy until wifey comes home and has that much more work to do. They’ll have their hands full with child care, though they’ll probably just let them eat hot dogs and cereal.

    That said, cleaning isn’t exactly brain surgery and I’m not sure we should be standing and applauding if/when a grown man figures out how to scrub a toilet or run a laundry machine. All in all the premise of this show sounds like a big eye roll.

    I remember a scene from a Ma and Pa Kettle movie where Ma Kettle after berating Pa Kettle said; “Pa, I don’t know where you would be if wasn’t for me.” Under his breath Pa replied; “I’d be on the other side of the world having the time of my life.” (o:]
