Missrepresentation

1.
In reality television women are portrayed as "bitchy" and jealous.In the magazine industry women are often used as objects and are presented in a sexualised way.TV anchors often dress less professionally than there male colleagues,and tend to wear clothing that is revealing of their bodies.There has been instances were female anchors have been told to change the way they look, innorder to enhance their beauty.However,society have grown to expect women to look a certain way,and if they dress too conservatively they are usually criticised.In most films males are given the role of the protagonist,and the women that do get a leading role are usually not taken as seriously,and are presented mainly as sex symbols.

2.
Men are expected to be sporty.Also,men are expected to work,and earn all the money for there families,whilst their wives look after their childen.Men are also taught not to show emotion,and that crying shows weakness.

3.
By the time the war was coming to a close 80% of women wanted to keep their jobs in factories.It required a huge media campaign to get these women back into their homes.One of the ways the accomplished this was through the re-domestication of television.
