Media's Portrayal of Women

Sadly, in this day and age women are not on a completely equal paying field with men. We are still joked around with about “only good at cooking and cleaning” or not being as smart. But where are these ideas put into young men’s heads? The media. When teenagers grow up watching music videos of trashy women exploiting themselves around rappers or not treating their bodies with respect it makes it seem like all women are like that. Another problem is men constantly comparing women to the “perfect” women in movies or online. They don’t realize that those women have all types of professional hair stylists, make-up artist, fake tans, and personal trainers to make them look beautiful. They are not average women in this world. Their job is to look beautiful. It is impossible to be put on a pedestal next to these women. Things continuously seem to get better, but we all need to help in order for gender and racial discrimination to end.
