Women portayed as weak sex objects..

I've recently began to think about the exact same thing this article talks about. The Parent Tekevision Council did research on how women are usually the victimes of violence and sex on television. Storylines including violence towards women are also becoming an epidemic. Its becoming miore and more popular. In a PTC report, they focused on victimization among women in storylines and the depiction of teen girls becoming victims, and an increase in female victimization as punchlines in movies or stories. I feel as though this report is very true and a shock to our reality. I don't think many people pay much attention to these facts. Myself, being a male, i do not realize how shows portray women as weak sex objects.
This article relates to the media and how the media suggests our women to be weak. We have women portray poor roles in shows and make them look incapable of doing what a man could do. We discussed in class how women are used as sexy idols in commercials. This is kind of along the same subject, except they are using these women to lure men into watching their entertainment. There is difference among how women are treated now within the media to the past media. Nicole Kidman comments in the article about how this is becoming a big problem within our society, i agree.
This article says a lot to me about what is becoming of our society. In the article they show all the negative changes about how the media makes our women look. From 2004 to 2009, there was an 81% increase in partner abuse, meaning men are beating women. I think the media is portraying our women in the wrong way and at some point in time, our women will become the indominant ones in our society. It is still quite possible for the husband to take care of the children and the mother to go to work, but the way we are portraying our women in television suggests otherwise. Our women are much stronger then how the media is making them look.
