Miss Representation is a way of showing that women are more than what people think.  In this film, they describe women as either bitchy, ditzy, or dumb even! It's what the media has described them to be.  In most movies or TV shows, women play the part as more of a sexual icon for men.  Not really in power over anything.  Today, women have become better about playing roles where they are in power. For example, CSI have more women in the investigations that in real life.  Sometimes though, it really depends on the woman and how she wants to be treated and known for.  Some may like the attention of being bitchy or ditzy but when they like that, that's when women become what media thinks they are! Appearance seems to be the only thing media looks at now days.  They have less interest in their personality, it's always about whether she is too skinny or too fat.  Women need to show the power they can have.  They have all equal rights that men do.  All men and women are created equal.  Women have more of a emotional side to them, of course, but that still doesn't mean we can be treated any differently than men.  If we want to run for office, we can.  We can take a stand and prove to society that we are just as knowledgeable and sophisticated as men are! Women are nurturers, not only to their children but to everyone in society.  They are comforters yet strong about their opinions.
