Miss Representation

    In this movie it shows how women have it so hard in society especially in the media industry. There are certain factors that they talk about that make a women "eligible" to work in this industry. It seems like they all have to be a certain age and height and ethnicity. And in television women have to be a perfect example with the best features. And when it comes to media coverage it seems like instead of the real news the biggest news of he day is whether Kylie Jenner is pregnant or not. Because of this women have to struggle and work super hard to get where they are and even then have to keep up their image in order to stay where they are.
    Women in this industry have to have a certain image it seems like to be eligible. You see news anchors with flawless hair and low cut tops and its all so people will recognize them. It seems like the good work they are doing doesn't mean anything if they don't  have flawless hair and the perfect body. Because of this it keeps many girls from these jobs because they think they have to be a certain way or don't have enough people to look up to as role models in this industry. And even in things like politics women barely ever see other women in it. Before watching this movie I thought Hillary Clinton was the first women to run for president. And so did so many of my other friends. In my opinion this is just sad that I didn't even know this kind of thing because women are so unfairly recognized. Women also have to keep a strong appearance. If a news anchor who is a man cries over something sad that is happening in the news for example is seen as caring and sensitive to the situation. But if a women cries they are unstable or on their period or something and are not right for that job.
    When it comes to actors it is the same thing. most women are young and beautiful in the acting industry and have to keep up the perfect appearance. If they make one slip up they could be seen as a mess or a slut to the rest of the world. And if you look closely you rarely see any middle aged actors. It seems like after that they aren't pretty enough or are outdated. It is just sad that women have to stay young, perfect, and beautiful just to do their job.
    Going back to the news you always see the latest story on the news about the Kardashians or what his women actor was wearing this day. instead of focusing on real things we look at all the sign of whether Kylie Jenner is pregnant or not or what Jennifer Lopez went to the beach. But we never focus on what this man is wearing or the mistakes he has made which has created an unfair and sexist environment.
   Overall this movie gave me a good look into how unfair women are treated. And how if we one day want equality we need to listen to their message and speak up and fight back.
