Misrepresentation of Women in Society

Through the media, women are told who they can and cannot be. Women are viewed as sex objects and are taught that looking sexy for others is important to fit into our society. Women involved in porn or seen as sex role models are looked up to. Women in politics are told to "be more aggressive and confident," however, when they exhibit these characteristics, they are labeled as "bossy" or "bitchy."

    So how do we get rid of this? Do you think that there is a way to reverse this?
    Obviously we can't undo what is already done, but how do we get people to not stereotype and sexualize women in everyday life?
