The video that I posted above focuses on the sexualization of women in the media. Addresses how women are overtly sexualized in almost every field of media that is offered to the general public (ie film, television, music, even the dolls that young children play with).
While I agree that women are overly sexualized, however I also think that the problem is the one-dimensional portrayal that women are given in the media. One of the main issues is that in many teen dramas and music videos women are sexual and that's it. While it is true that humans are sexual creatures, there is definitely more to the female identity than sex, and is what needs to be seen in the media more.
According to this article, when a group of girls were asked to give responses to overtly sexual ads many said it was no big deal. This suggests a normalization and tolerance for this depiction of women, that needs to change.
