Miss Representative

I was amazed by this movie.  Seriously, the whole way I look at media and the world changed because of this movie.  The part I was most shocked about was the limited number of women with careers in the media and those who do are down talked or portrayed in a more sexual light.  Also I was amazed at how poorly women in leadership positions are treated and how many men belittle and make fun of or sexualize their every action.  I hope that when I have daughters and even sons that I can teach them how wrong the media truly is and what standards they need to uphold in this very male dominant world.

  1. I was amazed too! Since we watched it is so much more apparent to me the different ways women are misrepresented in the media and it is so prevalent. I hope I can do a better job teaching my children too!
