This was the most powerful aspect of the film that I gathered. The fact that it is predominately men that control these two powerful sectors is probably the best argument people can make about unequal gender roles.
shareI think it was fascinating to learn that in the 80s and 90s, there were a series of legislation to limit the control of the government and give more power to the media in shaping the modern cultural identity of young people today. Also, as the film suggests, to control women. Should I be surprised those in power were so threatened in the 60s and early 70s?
shareAnother point that really hit home was that women were portrayed as multi-dimensional 60 some years ago in movies and tv, and are now more often than not props for the men. We have actually gotten worse in the portayal of women in some ways.
