Media pressures

Don’t know if this will work seeing as all the blogs are due in today but one more can’t hurt!

After spending hours on an essay about how the media represents gender I am sick to death of the whole thing. However, I will just briefly explain the theories behind it.

Sex is a biological term, gender on the other hand, is about the individual, how they live their lives, what they eat, wear, perceive masculinity and femininity. This is the main point of it all and the media is telling us how to feel about 'maleness' and 'femaleness'.

So think outside the box people!

Thanks for listening. (Sort Of)
