Role of media, types of media objects and their effects on feminism

Media objects mostly portray feminism on how women serve men. For instance, media see women as sex objects, mothers and nothing more. This is sad since women also have more opportunities just as men. Today, media has ensured equal opportunities to both men and women and has associated femininity with powerful women. However, some qualities that are sexual are still playing part in the shaping of femininity. This has increased fragmentation of women’s body in adverts that promote the objectification of women’s bodies by the use of media objects.

Gender participation in media and gender inequality in media

Gender participation in media has promoted gender inequality. Most top positions are still male-dominated and, in some cases, women are assigned soft objects. These inequalities are encouraged by the society and cultural factors. Women are made to believe by the society that they can not handle hard subjects and such are only for men. They continue frightening the women and make them feel like they will they will neglect their responsibility at home. Nevertheless, the participation of women in media has empowered other women and has increased positive role models for girls. More women have gained confidence to fight for gender equality.
