How does women being portrayed in the social media effect young women?


In todays society women all around the world are being portrayed as sex objects in the local media. Our question today is how does this effect young women? Do they themselves feel violated? Well today we are going to find that out!


-As demonstrated below we show you just exactly how women are being portrayed as sex objects :
                 
 ; Throughout all forms of media it is obvious to see that we live in a world that is very sexualized. Magazine advertisements, magazine pictures, commercials and even ads on the internet are shown in a sexual way and women are usually the objects of sexualization in the ads.  Sexualization is when a person's value comes only from his/her sexual appeal or behavior, to the exclusion of other characteristics and when a person is sexually objectified.  

Is the sexualization of women in the media an issue that people are aware of?  Well they should be.



A women on the left topless with champane being squirted by her mouth shows us how disrespectful this image is towards the women and the men on the right fully dressed looking very mature and looking like their going to make some very educated decisions.














Heres a video that shows examples and opinions on how women are viewed as sex objects;















  






-  Throughout the media it is obvious to see that women are very sexualized and they are usually portrayed as objects that belong to men in these advertisements. One ad which shows exactly how women are sexualized and how they are objects that belong to men is the Dolce & Gabbana ad. There is just one girl in the ad that is laying down while a man is on top of her holding her arms down. The ad is showing that the woman is the object of the men and it is making her look like she is inferior to the men.  With ads such as the Dolce and Gabbana one, women then decide that they should treat their bodies as sexual objects. With women treating their bodies as sexual objects it then leads women to believe that that is all that is important. Also with these ads showing women as sexual objects, men then begin to believe  that the sexual image of women is what is important and what makes them "attractive". With this sexualized image that is being portrayed in the media it becomes hard for women to be accepting of their own beauty and constantly compare themselves to images in the media which are more often times unattainable.
