Women in Media

I agree with this post I read on WAM which talks about how women are under-represented in media forms such as radio, tv, and more. In order for women to be more equal with men they have to be equally represented in media because media is what children see all the time and when children see someone that looks like them, they think thats what they can become. If a child sees someone that doesn't look like them all the time they will grow to think that isn't their place in society. 

While women in media are currently outnumbered by men, the numbers are steadily growing and eventually they might even come to be equal with men. Things like this happen naturally and forcing the issue probably won't do much good.

I also agree with this post and think that it is very important for the media to recognise these social differences and understand how it does affect the youth.

I totally agree with this. Especially in radio and music where we are caught off guard. Listen to any song and the way they show women is rediculous. Good blog.

I completely agree, America's youth are affected far more than people realize.

I agree that media needs to be changed. They need ton think of the children whose minds are greatly influenced and mirror what they see in the media.

The media spends its time focusing on how it can corrupt and manipulate the mines of the younger viewers. And unfortunately, it works. I agree with this entire point. Something needs to stop it.

I agree with audrey on how the media corrupts the minds of younger viewers, the media should really focus on how it effects the youth and how they are like sponges ;absorbing all the material the ads release.
