After looking at visual images and what it does to society in Writing Two this week, I decided to say something about it. Women are definitely judge more on their appearance and are viewed as weak; the media advertises stuff that sometimes indirectly portrays men’s dominance. Women have to face the pressure of being judged and are more likely to suffer from violence of some sort. After reading “Two Ways Women Can Get Hurt” (or something like that), I felt that the author exaggerated a bit. She wrote about how women are view as objects and that men are cruel but I disagree with it. Men are also the victims as well. Men must face the pressure of being judge through whether they have muscle or not and their fashion. Fashion is something that we all are judged upon and are criticized the most on. The media shows images of people that we think of as models for us to become. For men, the model would be buff, tall, and strong, while for women, it would be slim, super skinny, and big breasts. The media does this to try and sell products. Sometimes, when some ads show up on the laptop, the images looks like they are trying to advertise people rather than products.
Moreover, I seriously want to question the people who models for those ads. Some of the women are sometimes naked in the ads. I seriously want to ask them how much they are willing to go in order to get fame and money. Are they willing to strip and have their pictures taken?
Also, I think that it is a bit unfair that if some men sleeps with many women, they are considered a player and somewhat attractive while if women sleeps with many men, they are called prostitutes, whores and sluts. To some men, sex is like a game to them and after they have what they want, they would dump their current girl with another one. I think that some women have it hard because if they did have sex before marriage, they would be looked down in society.
