Five things about women in the press

  1. Sex Objects: If the sexualised images are designed for women then I don't see it as patriarchal power because a man is not forcing a women to produce the pictures for men and because of this, the statement that he addresses does have a point. It is objectification for women because they might want to have a same-sex relationship so they are attracted to women so it is possible for women to participate in the "male gaze"
  2. Wives and mothers: The statement "You have to represent your whole gender" is true. Because of the words "sex" and "gender" have the same connotation but have a different denotation, a biological woman has to live up to the standards of the gender. A woman can be a wife to their husband but not be a mother only if they decide not to have children. 
  3. Relative invisibility: Editors are usually male
