Miss Representation Extended Trailer

An overlook at the Hegemonic society that utilizes the media as a tool to dictate gender expression. This sets into motion the subordination of womyn in our society and that value that they hold as individuals politically and socially.

My father says that wives are only there to be beaten.And he abuses her.My mother dont say a word because she is dependent upon him and partly agrees with him..Who suffers?? me..because i am a girl and i see my future in their views.And its the case with most of girls.The media revokes this feeling which is wrong.

I am so sorry to hear all that. :-(

Thanks for the video. Well, what to say. I basically agree in a sense. How can you argue with some of the claims about women being programmed to think they are their bodies and that being sexy to men is all they are about?

but many of the central themes are profoundly out of context. Most importantly, if they were framed in a better context, that could be a lot more empowering for women.

[Anthony M]

I don't usually like the term programmed but read about social construction and socialization to get things going.

hmph. What came first the chicken or the egg?  Is media a reflection of a degradation in morals of our society or is media fueling it? I think the answer is yes to both.

Its okay for girls to dress like sluts, its okay for boys to wear clothes that are about the equivalent. We have people thinking its okay to have one night stands and get hammered drunk; we have people thinking that being a homosexual is normal. The line has to be drawn somewhere. Before long, bestiality will be normal.

[Anthony M]

WTF? Um. . . your going the opposite way towards sex negativity. This isn't about morality, but freedom.

Am I the only one who find Calvin surprisingly articulate for his age? Just look at the variety of words he use.

I am also sorry to hear that. by changing your attitudes and realizing how wrong that situation is, you have already begun to break the cycle of abuse. stay strong and believe in yourself and your abilities

I AM A 20 YEAR OLD MAN, AND I LOVE this women need to be seen as more than just an object we are all equal i would really like to see women fulfill there dreams its hard to be a guy and find a girl that is so insecure with here and to keep telling that she can do whatever she want and that she is beautiful and not being able to find that in herself because of what the media has portrayed women to be... i hope this movie makes a difference
