Another issue with gender that I read more into is about the extremities that women go to in order to be noticed… For example Lady Gaga. She wants to be noticed for her music but simply cant because she is a female fighting in a male driven industry- so she feels she needs to cover herself in meat in order to be noticed. I feel like this is completely ridiculous, but true. Women today can’t be noticed by what they sing but are noticed about how they present themselves- Miley Cyrus used to be a child pop star but now she has shaved all her hair off, makes music videos of herself swinging on a ball and now look at all the attention that she has gotten world wide.
The media doesn’t fight this situation at all but more supports it. I am a strong believer in being who you want to be but I feel female artists are pushing that just in order to gain a reaction from the media and their audiences. The amount of examples I could think of is truly ridiculous from Britney Spears shaving her head to Nicki Minaj getting bum implants. The media can be so good to society but yet so bad I get so confused about the opinion that I should have on it.
