The hypersexualized streotyped portrayal of vulnerable women as erotic, or as sexual objects, is undermining the female equality movement.
Dominance for man - active, passive woman.
Fashion comes at a price.
"In order to be successful you gotta be a whore.

I'd look for more but I think you get the point.

Then people wonder why the fricken 13 year old girls look like they're in their twenties.
Or women with eating disorders.
Or women who CONSTANTLY need reassurance that they are good enough.
Or women who have the tendancy to succumb to sexual acts when typically they would use better judgment.
Media corrupts, that is why I do not watch television. |

If you are interested in this topic read:
Naomi Wolf - The Beauty Myth
awesome book
Amazon.com
In a country where the average woman is 5-foot-4 and weighs 140 pounds, movies, advertisements, and MTV saturate our lives with unrealistic images of beauty. The tall, nearly emaciated mannequins that push the latest miracle cosmetic make even the most confident woman question her appearance. Feminist Naomi Wolf argues that women's insecurities are heightened by these images, then exploited by the diet, cosmetic, and plastic surgery industries. Every day new products are introduced to "correct" inherently female "flaws," drawing women into an obsessive and hopeless cycle built around the attempt to reach an impossible standard of beauty. Wolf rejects the standard and embraces the naturally distinct beauty of all women. |

Or you could think critically about what is being presented to you. Media corrupts yes, but only those minds that are too stupid to question anything.
P.S. I don't think you're one of the stupid people.

k i officially have an e-crush back, i don't watch tv either
also on topic, look at ads in magazines
tons of images of women don't show the eyes of the women, even if they show most of the face
does anyone else think its hilarious to see typical bleach blondes walking down the sidewalk during the middle of winter looking like they're freezing their nips off just cause warm jackets aren't trendy enough? |

you blatantly implied that anyone who watches and beleives the media is a simple minded braindwashed drone. so where do you get your snidbits of information from? i would love to know since you are so convinced the media is out to deceive you at all costs, well only if you are simple minded. |

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?
BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN GIRLS DIDN'T EVEN GET NEKKID FOR SEX? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? THAT'S SUCH A LAME AD. NOBODY WOULD BUY THAT BEER, MAN. BUDWEISER DIDN'T EVEN EXIST IN 1800! EVEN IF IT DID NOBODY IN AMERICA WOULD HAVE DRUNK IT. WE WEREN'T TOO KEEN ON KINGS AT THE TIME! INSTEAD OF THE BOSTON TEA PARTY, YOU'D HAVE HAD THE BOSTON BUDWEISER PARTY! I KNOW IT SOUNDS FUN, BUT IT REALLY ISN'T. REALLY THEY WOULD POUR ALL THE BUDWEISER INTO BOSTON HARBOR AND MAKE THE FISHES DRUNK AND COME ON LAND AND DANCE AROUND DRUNKENLY LIKE IN THAT CARTOON MOVIE 'LITTLE MERMAID'. ACTUALLY THAT DOES SEEM LIKE FUN NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. |
