I think I have definitely been affected when it comes to my personal view of the media. After watching Killing Us Softly, I realized how ridiculous some of these expectations are. It is true, it is impossible to look the way the media wants (at least not with any natural process). Now, I catch myself looking at the different ways the media is portraying not only women, but men as well. Commercials always use good looking people to sell their items. They also use average looking people, but they are the ones acting stupid and clueless in the announcement. I have also been noticing how well the media is when it comes placing stereotypes with certain people. I have now been introduced to a new perspective on media, and it is not a good one.
Women can't do anything. They can barely open a bottle of ketchup.
Husbands can't cook to save their lives. But this is SO EASY, even they can do it!
You have no real skills and lack quality characteristics? That's ok! All you need is a busty chest!
Men are always wrong. Period.
