Have media images harmed women?

Answer 1

Women's behavior has harmed women. Women accepting what is portrayed of them has harmed women. Women have harmed women. Women have allowed men to harm women.
Women, as a whole, are responsible for the general treatment of women, as a whole. Including, and certainly not limited to, media images...some of which are created by women.

Answer 2

The media images have hurt how women are seen by society. The black woman has been hurt the most because there are only three main images that are shown when it comes to black women!! The Jezebel image, the welfare mom image or the sassy women with attitude that roll the necks and talk loud!!

Answer 3

not only has it harmed women but it has harmed the view that men have on women. for example
the media has these real skinny and beautiful
women pictured/teaching men that that is the
way a woman should look. so some men have this idea that he can only be with that kind of woman.
my wife is chubby and she is always concerned about her weight but i tell her she is the greatest no matter her size.

do you agree

Answer 4

Today's Pop culture has harmed Every aspect of our society, Women, Mothers, Families, Men and Children. It is true as a Man, It is very hard to see beautiful hot women falling out of their clothes and not want a part of it. Don't get me wrong I am Very happily Married with three boys and I truly believe My wife is the most awesome Woman in the world, She is hot too, But you are still bombarded with images of sexy women and you cant help but look and think and want and it ruins many marriages because men who Maybe aren't as lucky as I stray because they constantly see something better (or at least they think it's better).
It is also My opinion of why allot of the more conservative people in our world (primarily in the middle east) hate us. They don't want their Daughters to grow up like the trashy women they see in our culture. They don't want their sons to want to marry women who will act in such a way, as in their minds, It destroys families. I believe it does also, but I do however, believe there is no excuse for a mans behavior other than his own selfishness.
after all though if in today's society we cant judge people for being addicted to Illegal drugs and doing stupid things how can we judge a man for being addicted to beautiful women and acting equally stupid?

Answer 5

Yes. Women are much more spiritual and more dignified than the media images suggest. Men who don't know it and who accept the med. images. are hurting women, even children who have not yet grown up to be women. Women and children are being killed because of it.

Answer 6

Excellent question. I think the media plays up stereotypes. It seems like current comedies show the wives as humorless shrews, and the husbands as easy going funny guys.
Magazines portray a totally unrealistic female ideal, besides using impossibly tall thin women they air brush any imperfection.

Answer 7

Only those generated by the feminist movement. They portray women as being spiteful, mean-spirited, negatively aggressive, and trying to usurp traditional male roles simply for the sake of being contrarian.

Not saying every woman should be June Cleaver, just that they should allow themselves to be a woman and to make their men feel like men.

Answer 8

Yes. They make us feel terrible, like we have to look that way. It's so hard to live up to.

Answer 9

Yes, very much so.

Answer 10

of course.
