Did you watch this film on OWN last night? It was quite an eye opener. The media has sooooo much control of our lives. I now really understand that bumper sticker that says kill your television.
Women aren't feeling the love. I have been trying to put my finger on it for years and after seeing this film I know what the problem is now. The representations of women are inhumane, totally dehumanizing. Women are depicted as bodies only and any woman who has a brain, an opinion or anything outside of this manufactured idea of women is a bitch, a shrew trying to be a man. I get it. I get it. I totally get it. *bing,bing, bing* We have to arm ourselves and our children with media literacy. I have to find a book about this and teach my sons not to be those men that don't stand up for women. I have to teach them to be the men that know a woman's worth is not her body or just her ability to give him a family. I have to teach these sons of mine that a woman, just like him, has hopes and dreams of her own that don't revolve around his hopes and dreams. OMG. I hope they show it again. If you didn't see it last night check your listing to see when it is coming on again. You must see this film.
