Reflection on "Sex in Ads"

What conclusions or generalisations or big ideas can you draw and what are these based on?

So far in our discussions and research into "Sex in Ads", it has been an eye-opening experience in seeing in person, the effects of

As if the video had not highlighted enough of the repulsive sexism and prejudice towards women today, in the comments section below the Youtube video  "How the Media Failed Women in 2013" showed an array of backlash, ranging from comments such as how the video was another "Feminazi act", "Feminist propaganda" or "Feminists have a tendency to portray Men as "The Bad guys"..." while nowhere in the video had they specifically mentioned that men were at fault of the objectification of women.

What we do not realise is, in today's society, it's not only men but women also are in the bandwagon of the objectification of women.

Feminism is not a battle of us (women) against everything and everyone else, but simply the spirit to uphold equality and freedom for women and to embrace the gender as a part of a diverse society not a separate entity. Sure women may be hormonally and physically different but women remain human just as any other men and any men or women are an individual worthy of a same respect and treatment.

Currently, feminism is viewed through a stereotypical lens where it encompasses all women as angry, aggressive sexists as argued by the obnoxious twat who yelled out "I hate feminists!" in the library the other day but after mortifying him and his nonsensical point of view that ALL feminist women aren't respective towards males in front of many innocent others,  I realise just how strong the influence of media could be in inseminating the idea of feminism as being a backwards and demeaning towards equalism while feminism, just like any other religion, is perceived differently by every individual and it is the individual that is ultimately responsible for their act and not their entire social group.

However, it isn't all bad. Society is making improvements in today's world and women everywhere are rising up to voice their opinions and are being embraced more in today's cultures and societies but a stereotype remains strong and will only change if a stronger value can exist to change it. Slowly but surely, women are progressing in achieving equality and I hope that with time, people could be more rational in perceiving what the media tells us and how we should interpret its messages.
