Women in the Media

We created this blog to portray how women are depicted as sexualized objects that exist solely for male's desires. We explored the different ways women are depicted in social media as sexual objects as well as explore media that works against this negative hyper-sexualized stereotype. We hope that by making this blog we can help empower women and their role in society and bring awareness to how the corporate world and advertising campaigns portray women in the media in a negative way.
