Effect of Media

I always knew the media is very stereotyped towards woman but I never realized the extent of it. Woman are constantly being contradicted for what they wear, how they display themselves on television, who they're dating, and what happened here that they could have done differently, but what bugs me the most, and always will, is why just the woman? Why not the men? In my opinion, I feel like it's the whole double standard where men have the power to do anything and what ever they do is okay, but if a woman does it all hell breaks loose and it's the next big thing being covered in the media. For example, that whole thing about newscaster Katie Currac, who only is trying to prove that woman are just as confident as men and know just as much as they do, where the media focuses on her hair or how much leg she's showing instead of the important things she's covering in her newscast.

 I found it interesting when the person stated how media plays a crucial roll in defying who we are. The reason I found this so interesting was that the only reason media defines who we are is because it's what they want to see. If there are woman who don't look like the ones displayed on television or in magazines, and the media is saying that that is what you need to look like to be accepted into society, then those woman are going to go out and do what they can so they feel accepted and all are long letting media shape and define who they are.
