Exploring Objectification Theory Through Media Output and Seduction Masters

Throughout time, the objectification of women within pop culture has become an increasing issue, that not only degrades women, but also portrays negative stereotypes for younger generations of girls to see. Many theorists and writers have given their opinions throughout different academic articles, and with these, have examined how this issue is intertwined within society today. More specifically, it is evident that women are hypersexualized throughout commercials, are portrayed as “weak” and “powerless” within television shows, and lastly, are objectified in sexual and negative ways throughout song lyrics. Focusing on several well-known witters and theorists, such as, Joanne Hollows and Stuart Hall, we are able to analyze their work in

If you are attracted to this man in any way, you will find yourself behaving in a fashion that will make you attractive to him. Likewise, the man, if he is at all attracted to you, will behave in ways designed to attract you. In other words, your behavior will be altered in the presence of someone who holds any sexual attraction to you.

In today’s society, people believe women have the same rights as men, especially after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, which outlawed “discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin” and was amended in 1975 to include the word “sex”.(“Teaching With Documents: The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission”). The word “sex” was added at the last moment. America does not promise an equal outcome for everybody, but America was founded on the idea that everybody should have an equal opportunity to achieve their dreams. America is the home of freedom, the home of many opportunities, and the home of equality, but we are not where we should be? Many citizens of America are unaware of the unequal

All throughout history, it is almost always noted that men are more superior in comparison to women. This is evident in that men were first to vote, first to drive, and the United States has only ever had male presidents. In stating this, it seems that women need to prove their worth and take a stand. The short stories, “Girl”, written by Kincaid and “Hills Like White Elephants”, written by Hemingway, prove that women should be able to make decisions for themselves and not have to abide by society’s expectations. Of these expectations, one that is consistently brought about is a woman’s sexual rights.

Gender inequality has engulfed the United States and placed copious varying roles onto the male and female sexes. According to Leila Aboulela, Minaret, “All through life there were distinctions - toilets for men, toilets for women; clothes for men, clothes for women - then, at the end, the graves are identical.” Discrimination places women into different roles and takes away numerous privileges. However in America today after more than a century of struggles by dedicated activists who fought to alter these ideals and gain further rights, the perception of women in society and their contributions to society have been greatly transformed.

For centuries now, women have been bombarded with an infinite amount of conflicting and overwhelming messages about what it means to be a woman and which behaviors are considered appropriate, especially regarding sexual behavior. Traditionally, women have always been defined in relation to men. Men are seen as strong, while woman are seen as weak. Men are superior and women are their subordinates. This is exemplified by the fact that “masculine” traits such as strong, non-emotional, and competitive are considered socially desirable traits, while “feminine” traits such as docile, emotional, and passive are not. We evidently live in a society that is not only sexist, but also undoubtedly racist. The white woman typically appears as virtuous and pure, while the woman of color typically appears as unclean and tainted. If the woman of color also happens to be poor, she appears as being even more worthless. Therefore, in the United States, femininity as a concept is inextricably linked with concepts of race and class. In the present paper, I discuss the effect that this is having on women and their sexuality, the events that have paved the traveled path towards gender equality, and current issues plaguing women today, such as the attack on our reproductive rights and our value as women.

Whether we recognize it or not, our everyday actions and ideas are directed by the “normal” actions of our gender. Although the last century has been the most revolutionary in terms of gender rights, gender norms and roles still continue to push back and damage every aspect of society. Both Michael Kimmel, author of the story “Bros Before Hos, The Guy Code” and Junot Díaz, author of the essay “How To Date A Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie” illustrate that gender roles and norms are incredibly detrimental to everyone in society. As a result, both texts implicitly explore how gender roles damage everyone regardless of gender as well as every aspect of society, result in separation rather than unification, and actively change our

The poems “On Sharing a Husband” and “Things Cheaply Had” illustrate the struggle of women to survive in a male dominated culture. Both poems express a straightforward idea of the objectification of women in two distinct cultures. A close investigation of imagery and diction in both poems reveal the permissive nature of the objectification of women. In accordance, both poems do not hide the idea of being objectified, but conceals the idea of a need to permissively objectified. Therefore, the poem depicts that permissive objectification of women was a means of survival in a male dominated society.

The extent to which women were presented as sex objects was calculated using a coding system. Every woman in each of the randomly selected 30 magazines was interpreted using a system that was similar to the method that Blaha used. Some of the categories that were coded were the percentage of face shown, gaze, product, expression, body pose, body part focus, degree of clothing, type of clothing, and whether or not the ad was seen as respectful

“Hooking up” or “hookup” is a broad term containing different meanings to different people, but in this case, the definition within the Encyclopedia of Gender and Society will be used. Hunter (2009) defines hookups as any kind of sexual activity that takes place without any form of romantic relationship established. They are casual sexual encounters that do not involve finding a husband or wife (Hunter 2009). This new culture allows young individuals to rid themselves of their sexual urges, without the commencement of a personal and emotional relationship established with the other party (Hunter, 2009). Not only does it allow sexual gratification, but it permits individuals to explore their sexuality (Hunter 2009).

In today's society media is a main part of everyone's lives. It is used in so many different ways and for so many different reasons but today I want to focus on the way that women are depicted in the media. You may not notice on a daily scroll down your facebook or instagram feed, your browsing on youtube or you're flicking through a trashy magazine but on a day to day basis women are objectified in media and represented in a way that should not be what women are known for. All of those ‘insta models’ you see everyday are not achievable goals, all of those ads showing women in revealing bikinis or sexualised mannurs are not what we should be seen as by the rest of the world. We as women need to begin to make a stand as to hnow we are depicted

The topic of women’s equality to men has been a constant debate throughout the centuries. Women ave fought for equality and have reached many milestones and they are much more equal then they were, especially at the beginning of our nation’s history. This fight for equality has gained more support over the centuries and at this point the two sexes are more equal then they have ever been in the past however, even now, when this nation claims to be a land of equality for all, there is still inequality present. Letters written during the fight for women’s suffrage worded it this way, “Ah! how many of my sex feel in the dominion, thus unrighteously exercised over them, under the gentle appellation of protection, that what they have leaned

In America, there is a war raging. This war is not fought with guns blaring and casualties strewn across the battlefield. It is a far more subtle war that divides to its very core. There seems to be no way out and the victory of one side over the other will mean that no one wins. This war is engrained into our society in the pursuit of equality between men and women. However, there is a divide within this pursuit, a tendency to side with one extreme or the other: modern feminism and the men’s rights movement. These paradigms, on the surface, seem harmless. However, when taking a closer look, the issues that are addressed in these movements are further cause for the division of men and women. While promoting the idea of equality, at the
