Miss Representation

We watched the documentary "Miss Representation" on Wednesday and Thursday I believe. I am a person that's all about that documentary life so I was excited. It was about women and how they are portrayed in the media. I was really excited about that as well because I stand up for gender equality!!! I feel like girls and women should stand together instead of tearing each other down. I also feel like women are over sexualized in the media and shown as objects. I realized while watching the documentary that men have it just as hard if not more then women. Their stereotypical expectations are to be strong, controlling and masculine while women are "supposed" to be dumb, catty, physically attractive and feminine. I feel like it will take a few more decades for this to get either better or worse. For now this is the society that we live in and there are some people who  don't care for fitting in society norms. It will take many more documentaries, activists and education for people to realize that the media is controlling us.
