In the beginning of this week we talked about feminine and masculine ideas in society. The first half of the week we watched the movie "Killing Us Softly 4". The movie highlighted the dangerous influences the media has on women, and girls. They have to look a certain way to fit in with todays idea of beauty, when in reality the models on TV or magazines don't even look like that in real life. The scary thing is women see about 300 ads a day telling them how they should look! Later in the week we talked about how masculine boys and men should be. Men have a more narrowed of a rigid idea of how masculine they should be. Boys are taught if they're not tough, big, strong, and emotionless they are weak. But that's not the case at all and because it's been around for so long it's going to be a hard thing to change so quickly. The idea of how woman should be has changed drastically over the past 50 years and I think that it's possible for men to do the same. Possible, not definitely easy.
