Topic: Miss Representation- a focus on gender in the media

So everybody should watch this:

Thoughts?

I'd be willing to give it the time of day if it weren't for the fact that it's trying to shock me and sway public opinion like all these "dangerous" media outlets do. Other than that, there's nothing new that I've learned and nothing I can do about it.

Like it or not, sexy sells
Its not about making role models its about making money.
Ever heard of a show called the "BadGirlClub"?
A bunch of women acting like fools, just for the price for fortune and fame.

Its a way of life, and theres not much we can do about it.
All you have to do is hope people learn from others mistakes and not copy them as role models.

Sad but true. As @LordJumpMad said, sexy sells. It's been this way for quite a while and will continue to be this way unless we take action, and that's easier said than done.

On a serious episode of "The Nintendolife Forums", one brony talks about the focus on genders in media. And Mickeymac has a serious discussion about cancer.

I'm gonna be one of those people who blame the public for letting children have too much exposure to the media. Sure you can't be with your daughter all the time and watch over her back her whole life, but you can build up her self-esteem and integrity while she's young so she can make wise decisions about herself and her future. It may not be fair how women are exploited in the media, but honestly, they have more rights today then most other civilizations have ever had since the dawn of man.

Wait wait wait.

Let me get this straight. Violent media (games) have absolutely no impact on people's psyche, according to, like, everyone on this forum.

But sex in media is such a scary influence?

I detect a foul smell here. Let me try and figure it out. Hang on... oh right. Hypocricy.

Also, that's a crap documentary that is so incredibly sensationalist that anyone who doesn't laugh at it is way too influenced by the media.

More blood on Bush's hands. smh

Yeah but no. This "problem," such that it is, has been a cultural thing in America for as long as media's been around.

Edit: Bah, Jay needs to post his funnies less serious-like.
