The technology of television is a medium to bring images and sounds into homes and other locations, but Television, as a cultural force, has enabled capitalism, and the Patriarchy, to build the toxic society in which we live.
In my opinion, going on about whether women or men can and do profit more from this degrading system is an exercise in missing the more important point: how we have failed to build a world based on character and healthy relationships rather than on money.
