Media Overview

The media reinforces many stereotypes. Most of the stereotypes harm women. Not only do the stereotypes effect the way men look at women, but also the way women look at themselves. Women barely take up any of the important jobs that are "meant" for men. This is because people think that women only care about how they look and can't be serious about work. Sadly this gives women such a less advantage in the work place.

What reinforces the stereotypes are the roles women play in movies and TV shows. Women usually play the damsel in distress, the one who needs to be saved, almost always by a strong handsome man. This shows people that men are the dominant people in the relationship or just in life in general. Women also wear very revealing outfits in movies and TV shows. So in movies like Civil War, where there is finally an important woman superhero such as Black Widow, she still wears showy outfits that demoralize her. In most movies with Vanessa Hudgens, she gets drenched with water so her clothes stick to her showing off her figure. Even if the actress gives women a serious important name, they still in someway also bring women down
