Readings

After reading for Monday and Wednesday, I thought about t.v. a little differently. I'm all for empowering women and making sure we have equal rights, but after reading that most television shows show women as being passive and "homemakers" I got a little upset. Now, there's nothing wrong with being passive and there's nothing wrong with being a stay at home mother, which mine is, but to see that people will respond and look at women differently.
I've experienced men, in particular, that have made sexist comments relating to me and other women being stupid and that our place is in the home and after reading that mass amounts of tv watchers think tv is actually real life makes me contemplate whether or not I should support something so vile.
