women in media

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2009)

Although a hilarious movie, it still represents the effeminate issue. The movie somewhat showed the growth of woman's role in news casting. It wasn't strongly shown, but it was a visible undertone. Women of that era struggled greatly with sexism and moving up, not only, in news casting, but the world in general. The connection with media is in the effeminate issue. Women of that era were always treated as second class citizens and were not seen as serious or competent in the mainstream workforce. Although the purpose of the movie was hilarity, Anchorman: the Legend of Ron Burgundy proves the point of the growth of women in news casting. The quality of the film in proving the effeminate issue was not the most effective, but it was most definitely present.
