The two women’s groups went to The Paley Center for Media in Rockefeller center. We took the D train up to 47th street and walked to our 52nd street destination at the Paley Center. Once we got there a very nice lady named Caroline took us to a small room with a projector. We were the only ones there. Once we got there we talked with Caroline about the general topic of women in the media and she told us what we were going to do. First we watched a video montage about 12 minutes long that had clips of popular shows from the 1960’s to recent shows. In them were some sexist and stereotypes of women. They showed, girls who chased after boys and who were obsessed with their weight. After the video was over we all had the chance to say something about what we just watched. We talked about the stereotypes we found in the clips and what they meant. Everyone shared their opinion on each film. We talked about how they made us feel and what we can take from them. After this we watched many more snippets of shows, old shows and new shows. We compared them and talked about what we found surprising and interesting in each one. In one of them there were two friends, one of them was in a bikini and was very pretty. She was convincing her friend who was fully covered to go play guitar with some guys she played with earlier. Once they got there the guys let her come but they only payed attention to the pretty one in the bikini. They invited her to play in their band even though she could even play an instrument while he friend (that was fully covered) was a vey talented guitar player. This shows how women aren’t recognized by their bodies and how pretty they are. We all had a lot of fun discussing these topics with Caroline who was very nice to teach us about these shows and the sexism behind them. It was very eye opening. It showed us sexism in shows that I watch/watched that I never noticed until now. Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries, Power Puff Girls, Hannah. Montana, etc. I learned that behind every little thing there is sexism, we are so used to it that most people don’t really notice it. There is not one single movie where the powerful lead female role is not “sexy” with an un-obtainable body. At the end I walked out knowing that I learned a lot more about our topic.
