female body in media

Georgie Landy


I choose a picture of a penis to represent the female body in media. I believe women are overly sexualized and degraded through media similar and most comparable to the way women are depicted through pornography. Men dominate the media world and i believe men hold women to an unfair and unrealistic standard by portraying them as nothing more then sex objects for other mens pleasure. This is shown through the large variety of underweight models who have gone numerous amounts of plastic surgery in order to fit the norm of what we call beautiful. The reason women predominantly struggle with there appearances is due to the constant pressure our male dominated, and sexually driven society has engraved in us.
