Missrepresentation

The movie we watched the past two class periods has shown something that has gone on for years. The media has portrayed what they believe women should be like, and look like just to get noticed. We claim that the world around us is changing, and that men and women are equal in every aspect of what we do. But, we all know that is not the case. Men are still powerful in almost every workforce that their is to offer, and get better pay than women. This documentary opened my eyes to what I have been overlooking for most of my life. When I see the fighting going on in the reality shows I just laugh it off and move on to the next thing. But what I have failed to realize is that these shows are showing young adults that this is how you are going to act and try to be like when you are older. These shows now do not show women in power, mostly. The world of Hollywood is beginning to come around (finally) after years of portraying women as weak and helpless. Like the article on courseware, Nick began to do it in the early 90s, but now mainstream Hollywood has begun as well.
Also the article that was handed to us I agree with too about celebrities. They can be the face of the movement, but there has to be action behind it. They just can't talk about it and not do anything. There has to be more done than just saying you are a feminist, you have to get out and promote it. I am all for equality between men and women!
