“The topic of disability is broadcast with respect.” Emma Antoniuk expressed her opinion about the Bachelor show with war veteran Teren

On dates, the main character, who lost both legs at the front, rides a motorcycle and climbs. Antonyuk emphasized that the filming team of Ukrainian Bachelor sets a huge bar for this format in the world. The blogger was also pleasantly surprised that Ulyana Pcholkina, an activist in the field of the rights of people with disabilities, talked to the participants about having sex with an amputee.

“This reality will never be close to my heart. Although the format is balanced by The Bachelorette, the idea of ​​twenty attractive women competing for one man, with all the clichés about female competition and gossip, is not my thing. I understand that this is a genre. And I also understand that it exists only thanks to the patriarchal system, which degrades a woman as a person. We, as a society, know how to criticize. But sometimes it will be justly deserved to praise. The Washington Post and The Guardian have already done this for us. They released shocking materials about the Ukrainian Bachelor. But it would suit us too. I squealed with delight as the woman discussed her disability group with the Bachelor. When Ulyana Pcholkina talked to the participants about having sex with an amputee. When it is as beautiful as a spring dawn, Teren drives a horse and climbs a rock. When the topic of disability is broadcast with respect and without pity. We (I mean the country and the media) we are setting such a high bar for this format in the world that it is impossible not to notice it. And of course, the caste of the participants changes a lot every year. Maybe that’s not what I’d like to see in an ideal world. But this is definitely a great progress for our world, which is not ideal. I applaud Terena and the people who embody it. You will still be scolded. In places it is even very fair. I want to praise. You are doing an incredibly important thing for people with disabilities, for veterans, for today’s Ukrainian society. And this is in a format that has always been considered trashy content,” Antoniuk commented.
