Media Portraying Women
Whether it is in a magazine or on TV media has taught girls from a young age that they have to be a certain type of girl and has to be impossibly skinny. Watching the video on this topic, even though I knew most of everything it was saying, it still made me mad. Having women dressing so erotically and flouncing around on TV for a commercial, shows and or movies gives little girls the impression that they must dress like that along with telling boys that girls should look like the women on TV. Which brings me to ask why does sex sell? Older women are making other older women feel less of a lady if she does not look like a model that has not eaten in years. Even the little beauty pageants that are on TV are making little girls wanting to wear make-up at a young age trying to look older. When girls are young and in middle school and high school they are just trying to fit in. Society is basically telling them if they want to fit in they have to change their whole appearance.
Why do men feel so scared of women that they have to degrade them on TV to try and to make the women feel inferior? Men always trying to bring a strong independent woman down when they feel like they might be out of a job or they might think the woman is not fit to lead. Women are just as strong as men and if I must work under a woman at some point I am okay with that because equality for all. If most men would stop being mules about letting a woman take charge when she is fit to lead and women having other women’s backs when they need help instead of turning a blind eye, then we just might have a chance at a brighter future.
