Miss Representation of women

Women for years have been miss represented for years; through the media, through men ideology of how women are supposed to be. At a young age women are in away brainwashed and taught that the only way for them to successful is be pretty and quit. In the film "Miss Representation" they argue that the media is the worse representation of women. The media is the message and the messenger in society, and it shapes society views and ideas. For example 65% of women have a eating disorder and 17% of women engage in cutting of their body. These numbers show u that the women in real life are trying to live up to unrealistic standards set by the media. Every commercial you see shows a extra skinny women who looks to be unhealthy and a perfectly skin tone women who has been air brushed. These are the ideas we give our women that this is true beauty. When actually it is unhealthy to be that skinny and impossible to not have a flaw, and the ideas that women especially young girls cannot achieve this drives them to do unhealthy things to themselves. This dominant ideology on how a woman is suppose look really oppresses the female sex to having one way to look and be. And it's really a miss representation on how women are suppose to look and be in real life.
