Women and the Media

Jenna over at That Wife posted today about the perception of women in the media. She mentioned a great website, About Face, that tracks different examples of women in advertising. They have galleries of the worst offenders as well as good representations of women in the media.

This is obviously in the worst offender's gallery.

I hate that women are expected to live up to airbrushed images. Perfection is an invention, it isn't real, its unattainble. I have to keep reminding myself that when I feel down on myself.

How do you feel about the way that women are typically represented in the media?
