• Explains that when obama was named president in the usa, an embarrassingly large percent of people couldn't understand why everyone was saying he was the first black president, they thought there had already been one before.
• Opines that media is a business of 'thought-control', and anyone who doesn't accept that is lying to themselves.
• Analyzes how people don't consciously address the meaning of the content and imagery that they are presented with in the media. this is clearly not a positive, gender-neutral theme.
• Opines that the inconsistency in an awards ceremony like the vma's makes it worse. they explain that countess female artists take to the stage in hardly any clothes accepting awards from men in suits.
• Opines that the idea of gender-inequality and misogyny appal the feminist. they agree with pop-starlets saying that what they wear is no one else's business.
• Argues that modern-feminists fail to understand that this is not a perfect world, which is full of men, and women who are able to observe and apply critical thought. the music industry and music media perpetuates the image of scantily clad women.
• Argues that the modern feminist's message is that strong independent women wear fewer clothes, which is exactly the opposite of what should be happening. men perpetuate gender inequality, whether they think of themselves as feminists or not.
• Opines that the media plays a large role in creating social norms due to the fact various forms of media are presented almost everywhere in our current culture.
• Opines that for society to progress, we need to get to a situation where men and women are treated equally. the system is broken and perpetuated for personal gain.
• Opines that men continue to grab women's bottoms in clubs because they are idiots that think women are objects, and women get paid less in top tier jobs.
• Opines that it's difficult to write a definitive response to the question at hand, as they fear that they have already said things that will rile people up against them.
