WHAT STORIES DO THE WOMEN TELL?

Have you ever walked into a public building (like a shopping mall, grocery store, or even an entertainment setting) and the first thing you notice is the women seem to be dressed so scantily and revealing? Or do you ever notice when you turn on your television and watch a good show, the news, a recent hit-movie, that the women are just half-naked? Could it be that the way the women dress tells a story about the mindsets of the men? The ancient ones believe that the women are the foundation of the community, and they are the first teachers of the children.

If a woman is a reflection of her man, and men are generally viewed as the leaders of the community, then what can the dress of the woman tell us? I've spent the last few weeks watching A LOT of movies, and shows from a psychological angle. My aim was to study society. Has society become more aggressive? Are men over-sexualizing women? Is there too much violence on public television? Does television influence people's minds? What I have caught on to is that most of the hit-movies are produced by men.

I've noticed that most of the big female movie stars and entertainers are known for their sexualities or for doing sexual acts. A lot – a whole lot – of today's movies are featuring LOTS of guns and explosives.

While all of this is moving, you have politicians passing tougher gun laws. Laws that are basically aimed at regulating guns. You have women activists saying society is too aggressive and disrespectful with women. You have religious groups saying the country is slipping and falling into an immoral state.

When you listen to the music of today, you hear artists saying "bi***", "ho", "slut", "hood rat" and many more vulgar and demeaning words describing women. On primetime television today you have profanity as one of its main features. Between the hours of 7pm to 11pm many children are watching TV. They are seeing profane words like "b***h", "ass", "who**" and other cuss words being thrown around.
