In a Man's World is a reality series that premiered on Bravo in 2019. The show features four women who pose as men in order to experience life from a different perspective. Shital Patel, Emily Duddy, Le'Dor Milteer, and Ali Levine all take on new identities and infiltrate male-dominated fields to see how the opposite sex lives. The women undergo a long transformation process, consisting of extensive makeup, hair, wardrobe, and vocal training to fully embody their male personas. Each episode follows one of the women as they immerse themselves in a new profession, from firefighting to music production and stand-up comedy. Shital Patel becomes a firefighter in the first episode, working with the Los Angeles Fire Department. She struggles with the physical demands of the job, including carrying the heavy equipment and climbing ladders, but also deals with the psychological effects of being a woman in a male-dominated field. She feels invisible and unrecognized, even when she performs as well or better than her male counterparts. Emily Duddy takes on the role of a professional poker player, attempting to dominate the male-dominated game. Throughout her time at the table, she must combat misogyny and sexism, and grapple with the idea that men have a natural advantage in the sport. Duddy also experiences the camaraderie and brotherhood that exists between male poker players, as well as the aggressive and risky nature of the game. Le'Dor Milteer enters the world of apex predators as she trains to become a safari guide in South Africa. She must learn how to handle dangerous animals like lions and rhinos while also navigating sexist attitudes from her male colleagues. She struggles to be taken seriously as a guide and feels like she needs to prove herself every day. Ali Levine becomes a stand-up comic in Los Angeles, performing as a male comedian named Alex. She experiences the high-stress environment of comedy clubs, battling stage fright and developing comedic material. Levine also confronts toxic masculinity in the comedy scene and explores how male comedians use their power to dominate and belittle female performers. In addition to exploring different professions, the show also delves into the personal lives of the women as they experience changes in their relationships with friends and family members. The transformations also have a significant impact on the women's sense of self and their understanding of gender and identity. Overall, In a Man's World is an intriguing exploration of gender dynamics in various professions. The show exposes the challenges faced by women in male-dominated fields and highlights the pervasive nature of sexism and misogyny. The series provides a unique perspective on what it means to be a man or a woman in today's society, and the limitations and opportunities that come with each identity.
