My overall topic of feminism and the fact that I get to address something that I am really passionate about; women that are over sexualized in the media. I think that being able to talk about it is a super cool and fun thing. To me personally, I think that my topic is extremely interesting, informative and incredibly different but good thing to do. Some things that I have gotten out of doing this topic is that my view and knowledge on the media and it’s interrelation with society has broadened with each new post on my topic. Where there are gains, there have also been some challenges along the way. Some challenges I face is looking at my topic through a different lens. Finding someone who is affected by my topic factually and their story is not just opinion based. I would also like to "flip the script" and look at men who are overly sexualized in the media and where this need for "sex" and the demeaning of ones self comes from". I still think that women are overly sexualized in the media but I have come to notice that women aren't so fragile and breakable as they are perceived. Another thing that I have come to notice that is important is that the media does not discriminate. This being said, I have come to notice that both women and men are victims and are subjected to over sexualization. I really look forward to learning and writing about my topic.
An in depth analysis of how women are portrayed in the media. General detailed writings discussing the lack of truth in all genres of media regarding women & their sexuality.The point of this blog is simple. Bring light to the reality of the misguided ways of the media that we look up to. We are uncovering the reality of the negative way the sexuality of women is portrayed through all genres of media. The point is to give a very real, true and direct message that the extent to which women are sexualized isn't okay.
When will it finally be "enough"?
