Miss Representation

This documentary by Jennifer Newsom was so interested and true. The film portrays how media recognizes and shapes our minds about the roles of women in our society. It proves that gender inequality has been and huge problem and still is. Women also play a huge part of  why there is not adequate equality among their sex, women are among the percentage that doesn't stand up for their own gender for eg. voting. I hate that women are misrepresented by their physicality and the traditional expected norm. Women are seen so often as just sex idols and that's how they are advertised in the media to catch  the attention of men, but what about the attention of women? Are there only men who use these products they advertise?  In todays society women no longer see the need to sit at home bear kids and wait on the bread winner to come home. Women want to be independent and be seen equal to men, we are strong mentally and physically as men sometimes even stronger. Jennifer Newsome encourages women to stand up for each other and work towards more leadership roles. She also encourages us to stand up against media misrepresenting us women everyday because it will continue to affect our upcoming generation including her daughter.
We deserve to be seen for who we are.
