Reading Valenti is always a
delight because of her brutal honesty for the topic. The reading for this week
was no different. Her depiction of pop cultures roles on gendered rules brought
in the new ideas of gender. While I have always discussed the portrayal of
women, there was some disconnect as to what these type of ideas do exactly in
the feminist fight. The discussion in class mirrored these ideas, and allowed
us to share our own ideas about this new type of violence against women that is
shown through the media. Often times the treatment of women is degrading and
does not promote women as capable of taking care of themselves in the real
world, and the subsequent consequence in violence in all parts of women’s lives
is amazing to look into from an outside perspective.
