Men’s magazines write articles on how to seduce a girl into sleeping with them. Haven’t we as a society moved past the sexist ideals of the past? Judging from the way media portrays women, it seems as if things are only getting worse! (Next slide) One of the most common ways television depicts teenage girls as ditzy, body obsessed, ‘pretty’ princesses with a credit card. The girl’s interests are usually limited to make-up, hair, boys and shopping.
Relationships in John Sayles’s Lone Star The relationships in John Sayles’s Lone Star seemed difficult to maintain. The film takes place during the mid-late 1900s. When it comes to love, most people tend to want a person they can’t have because doing so can cause problems. Most relationships do not come easy, problems can occur at any time. Three relationships expressed in Lone Star are ones that seem problematic due work complications, parents that are forbidding a relationship, and the affair everyone knows about.
I would not be sat in that room because this fight everyday of my life is just too much to face. I begged her to make me better. I pleaded for us to try a new treatment, to get a third and fourth opinion from other doctors. The pain and frustration that I had bottled up for all those months poured out of me. My tears were uncontrollable.
She is the iconic womanly figure of what woman strive to be and she embodies the vision of earthly love. Modern day marketing companies use her name on products, in an effort to project an air of seduction, beauty and allure.

I agree with Sheets-Johnstone’s claim that “women inspire male sexual desire simply by existing.” In the twenty first centuries, targeting western culture, women are constantly examined by men based alone on their outward appearance. A woman can be reduced to only to certain body parts such as the genitalia. This is because a woman’s appearance alone can cause a male to become aroused which naturally leads to this kind of degradation. The woman as a whole is basically forgotten. Because it is common for men to behave in this manner, it is almost routine for a woman to be appeasing to a man for approval.
Circe had invited Odyseeus’s crew into her home, she filled their bowls with a wonderful stew but “Once they’d drained the bowls she filled, suddenly she struck with her wand, drove them into her pigsties, all of them bristling into swine” (Homer 237, 261-263). This shows that Circe was more worried about playing scrabble with men and turning them into animals than respecting the code of hospitality. Even when she offers hospitality in the end, she still has the motive of playing scrabble with Odysseus, and just wants that from him. Calypso is the next to be inhospitable when she keeps Odysseus against his will in her home, even when he wants to go home. This is evidenced by the fact that he was “weeping there as always, wrenching his heart with sobs and groans and anguish, gazing out over the barren sea through blinding tears”
In most cases, media continues to present both women and men in stereotyped ways that limit our perceptions of human capabilities. Typically men are portrayed as active, smart, adventurous, powerful, sexually aggressive and largely uninvolved in human relationships. Women are depicted as sex objects who are usually young, thin, beautiful, passive, dependent, and all too often incompetent and dumb. Female characters spend most of their time improving their appearances and taking care of their homes and family or struggling to find the “perfect” relationship. The way media presents men and women may distort how we see ourselves and what we perceive as normal and desirable.
Young women seem to be especially affected by our culture’s obsession with weight and beauty. America today is a girl-destroying place where young women are encouraged to sacrifice their true selves in exchange for false selves that are more culturally acceptable. “More than any other group in the population, girls and their bodies have borne
