Women and Sexuality 

      

            According to Chapter one In Douglas, focused on what our society has done to encourage and applaud sexuality among women. All the movies, Advertisements, magazines, in general always fill the women’s lives with the wrong example of that men what men expect from women, Media does not care about the reputation that you will have in the future, that’s why dressing a certain way (Sexual) is what really benefits them. And In another hand with have the male audience learning how to dominate women and the importance of their body image. Media has the power to change that. Because it’s perhaps the new normal. Today in class we talk about music and how women’s music is citizens and always giving credit to the man’s music.  The first music video that we watched was “ Girls, Girls, Girls” by the Motley Crew. The video shows a man going to a strip club and watch the strippers dance in front of them. I would say that, even though, this was in the 1987 I think it was controversial, not I compared to today, not really that controversial, because in the video the women are in a strip club, so that’s what you do in the strip club. However in today’s world women dance in a sexy way not matter the place, they feel that they have to show off their bodies in order for them to produce the way that they are producing. I think that guys do not even look at the lyrics of the song because they are too focused on what the video is showing. I think this is the women’s job to put a stop to this because they are not force to do these things they do this because they want to show off their bodies and what they don’t realize is that they are sending a wrong message to this new generation.  Girls would think that if they don’t expose their bodies to the world they will be less important and relevant to this society that in my opinion I think is wrong.
