The television and film industry's portrayal of women has drastically affected many of their lives, too often women are confronted with the female images they see on television, in films and in advertising; on both a conscious and subconscious level, these media images of women lower self-esteem and influence behavior at every age and stage of life. We know they are unrealistic, yet they put enormous pressure on women to conform and influence the way we live, love, work and play. This gender role that society has generally deemed appropriate for women is wrong. This makes many of us women want to buy materials we don't need, with money we don't have, just to impress people we don't know. So many teenage girls are recklessly developing eating disorders and dieting without realizing that they don't need to live up to the ridiculous standards that society has placed on us. It's hard to be who you want to be without having someone look at you a certain way when everything around us, the constant pressure put on us to be like all the women on television, in commercials, in movies and in commercials, the powerful influence of these industries on industry society has given everyone around us the wrong idea of ​​what “should” and “shouldn't” be. A woman should be able to express herself and feel free to do what she wants without judgment. The Sexualization of Women Today The television and film industry has gone to extremes to shape the women we see in our daily lives to be too idealistic. , these women always seem to have their hair and makeup done, elegant clothes and incredibly thin bodies. People don't understand how much damage and pressure all these materials put on women. This idea that the film and television industry has created not just for women... in the middle of the paper... hey, do they need the words "I dare you" printed on the back? Or "Let's make out" printed on the most intimate parts of their bodies? Does all this agree with the message we are trying to send to teenage girls that they should be valued for their mind before their body? It's everywhere. James Franco's new film Spring Breakers, which I haven't seen, apparently exploits teenage girls so much, portraying them in the most degrading light, that even mainstream critics, not easily shocked, are shocked. Writing on Cinemablend.com, Sean O'Connell said, "Spring Breakers looks like the floor of a Tampa Bay strip club. It's sticky, slimy, dirty and has seen far more depravity and corruption than it should handle." Every movie out today involving teenagers always includes the girl who is a slut and is always looking for a man. For most women this is not the case.
