We had a break last week for Thanksgiving, so our last class was two weeks ago. Fortunately it was such an interesting class, that I have little trouble remembering what we learned.
Truthfully, I can't remember the speaker much, but the movie we watched at the end of class was equal parts inspiring and horrifying. The film was called Miss Representation, and it was about how women are portrayed in the media, how they are sexualized and socialized from a young age to believe that their self worth comes from their bodies and looks as opposed to their intelligence, strength, or aspirations.
Now I can't stop seeing it in every aspect of the media, wether its magazines, TV, music, music videos, advertisements, or film. It seems like an uphill battle sometimes, I notice my friends don't seem to notice or care.
