misrepresentation in media

Women have constantly been represented in media for as long as I can remember.   In most cases, women are portrayed strictly as sexual objects with 2D personalities.  If a woman is the star of the movie, the movie is commonly based on that woman trying to find a man.  In the end, women are only portrayed in the media for their sex appeal and don't have much freedom when it comes to media.

The first movie I really remember when it comes to women's misrepresentation is Transformers.  In that movie,Megan Fox really doesn't have a personality and is only there for her looks.  They dress her up in revealing clothing and hope that the male audience builds a connection with her.  This is the case with hundreds of other movies.  Women are constantly shown on the big screen only for their looks, which needs to stop.

Advertisement is another culprit with the misrepresentation of women.  They frequently inappropriately display women for attention, as seen in the picture.  They disregard a woman's personality and just want her for her body.  This is happening all across the world and it is disappointing to me.

Although this misrepresentation has been going on for quite some time, Think it is definitely getting better.  More women are getting the star role in movies with plots that don't involve the woman being objectified and I feel that society is finally coming to this realization that women are not just sexual objects.  Women empowerment movements are also happening more frequently than before and I feel women are stronger than ever when it comes to misrepresentation in media.

In conclusion, women have been misrepresented in the media for decades, and although it is getting better, they are still objectified and this needs to come to an end.
