After walking around for 3 grueling hours "interviewing" women apart of our society & seeing how many of them actually DON'T have their own opinion about something so influential & that is shaping their society really astonished me.
More men & boys our age had more to say about the topic than the gender being exploited themselves.
Courtney & I were gobsmacked with the answers we received, we were rejected more times than when we actually required any answers at all. We had to plead a case just to record the interviewees 's about how THEY FELT ON WHAT SOCIETY IS DOING TO OUR FEMALE GENDER. The excuses were ridiculous ; from "hair not being done" to "Can't you come tomorrow?, I promise I'll be here"
We teenagers are more worried about our society than the grown women running it , we are heavily influenced by what the perfect bodily shaped is & how we need to look; perfect skin , perfect hair, perfect smile, which all is unrealistic to obtain at our age, but we still try to acquire it. Courtney & I interviewed 2 boys (18 & 19) & THEY HAD MORE TO SAY THAN THE GIRLS WE INTERVIEWED! what does that say to us?, it seems that they were more affected by the portrayal of women in advertisement than the women themselves.
For centuries, women have moaned and often rightfully struggled for rights. But what exactly do we mean by rights? & What is equality in our day & age? I believe rights have been given but they have also been taken away from us.
