Dream Worlds 2

In this movie, we saw how females are portrayed in the media. Females are used as sexual images for ads, music videos, and other things. In music videos, they portray women as male fantasies. This is because 90% of music videos directed, are directed by men. These music videos and ads show the "male dreamworld". In this dreamworld, females are seen as sex driven objects. A man barely does anything and gets a woman sexually obsessed with him. Females are also seen as nymphomaniacs. They desire men more than the men want them. Also, in this dreamworld women wear sexual clothing, the kind that men would want to see. This clothing is supposed to provoke sexual thoughts in men. They please men in clothing that leaves little to the imagination. Sometimes the women are portrayed as "hot lesbians". All of these portrayals of women in music videos and ads pressures women in society to become like what they see in the media.
Women in music videos will also become more sexualized. They are portrayed as wanting to be watched. They will then be portrayed as teases. But they will say no in some cases, but no does not mean no in the dreamworld. Initial refusal often leads to the wanting of the peruser. Women will be treated the way they are treated in music videos. This is seen as a norm in our society. A college study showed that 60% males and 40% females agreed that women provoke rape by their appearance. I believe it is wrong that women are pressured to conform to the women in these videos and ads. Seeing how women are treated in the media leads to these actions as norms. They can also lead to the mistreatment of women. If we change the way women are portrayed in the media, we can prevent the mistreatment and violence done to women.
