A “non-confrontational” wife: Is this Love Is Blind's idea of romance?
A “non-confrontational” wife: Is this Love Is Blind's idea of romance?

Love Is Blind season 11 has been full of shocking moments that have made the audience question the premise of the show.
The latest season has received backlash from audiences due to problematic behaviours and comments from the male cast members. The reunion introduced another problematic cast member, who called out Sarah for going out "three times a week" with her friends.
Scott, who backed John during the reunion, has an interesting detail in his Love Is Blind bio.
His bio stated:
"He hopes that his future wife will be “non-confrontational, sweet, and humble,” and value his leadership skills, which he’s honed as a baseball coach."
This made me question the whole casting process and why Scott was even given a platform by Love Is Blind with such questionable ideas about a wife.

Scott was chosen by Love Is Blind and also made it to the final edit
Scott's full bio clearly showed that he was there for a submissive, "non-confrontational" and "conservative" wife who would appreciate his leadership.
These views about women in this day and age are problematic enough, and to give a platform to a man with such misogynistic views pointed to a problem. Why does the show want to highlight such views, and how would that affect an impressionable audience watching it? Is this the idea of romance in the show's eyes?
If the vetting process is so extensive, why did men like Scott, with their 18th-century views of what a wife should be, make it into the final cast lineup?

This part concerns me as an audience member.
Finally, such a person was given a chance to speak at the Love Is Blind reunion, and his problematic statement about Sarah made it into the final edit. Why? Moreover, his problematic conversation with Sarah was also shown during episode 1. That could have been easily edited if Netflix or the show thought it was not appropriate.
The red flags during the show were celebrated at the reunion
That is not all when it comes to the glorification of misogyny on Love Is Blind season 11. During the reunion, the male cast members with questionable behavior throughout the season received zero flak from hosts Vanessa and Nick Lachey.
For example, Rob did not stop his friends from berating Michaella, and then, the next day, he made a scene at the mixer at her expense. He was lauded by Nick Lachey for doing the bare minimum after doing all that. Are we serious, Love Is Blind? Where is the accountability?
Blake was given a hero's edit by showing the montage of places he went after breaking Erika's heart. Moreover, the boys' group chat and bonding were celebrated in the show more than questioned.
Why were no questions asked of Cam after he revealed that he, too, was going to say "no" at the altar? Why was Aneha portrayed as the ultimate villain in the edits, while Cam's non-decisive, non-communicative approach to the relationship was not even addressed?
The show needs introspection and to think beyond the rating. It is high time that Netflix and the show stop glorifying misogyny in the name of love.
Love Is Blind is streaming on Netflix.
