This year wasn't all bad when it comes to media representations of women.
We had Malala Yousefzai on the cover of Time
magazine. A record number of women were nominated for Emmys in
directing, chiseling away at that boys' club. And one of the most
venerable broadcast news shows, PBS NewsHour, promoted two women to anchor its report.
Then
there are the Carl's Jr. ads with scantily clad babes tearing into
dripping cheeseburgers while striking sexy poses that are supposed to be
somewhere between appetizing or arousing.
I think.
Judging
by this video, it can seem that for every real-life woman's success,
there are a hundred creepy, demeaning fantasies spawned by the minds of
advertisers and media makers.
And there are way too many talking-head bullies who seem interested in telling a woman what her "place" is.
Watch the video and tell us: What do you think was the worst media representation of women in 2013?
