Lesson 9

Gender in Media and Popular Culture


Applying the Bechdel Test to on of my favorite movies, it did not pass, due to the focus on mostly main characters and the only woman character that plays an important role seems to be an item for entertainment and a sexual icon.


An interesting blog on the web enforcing thinspiration, this can truly affect all women and portrays negative messages and images to girls over the internet. 


A local beauty store that uses "correction" ads as a method of consumption for women. 


A photo I found that uses a derogatory term to send out a negative image to girls. There is a better way to send out inspiring messages, it does not have to be done in such a way that targets women.


Another ad in a magazine that uses "correction" ads as a method for consumption targeting women.
