I totally agree with this documentary. Not only is it a serious issue that needs to be taken care of, but it needs to be brought up. Everyone knows that women in the media are treated as objects or toys to make this product look better or make this company have sales through the roof. Me being a film major, I definitely want to be able to uplift women in the media and I definitely want to raise the percentage in the media industry of women to have certain jobs that men usually have.
I also love the article that we read in class from Roxanne Gay. She totally hit the nail on the head about celebrity feminism. I agree that it is a good thing that celebrities are claiming this title and let the problem be known, but just because they have the word "Feminist" behind them does not mean they are the face. With being in the celebrity spotlight, they can target a wide variety of people, or even children.
I honestly do not think that women and men will ever have the same rights only because it has been this way for so long. We can make progress by starting in the media and with certain jobs, but I do not think that it will be full equality between the sexes. Society will always divide females and males. They will always be stereotyped and thought of has a certain characteristic.
