It's brain-washing filth. I've never been so opinionated in one of these response papers yet, but I believe that education regarding such a highly influential medium is important. I cannot believe that women are responsible for such publications. This essay adds to my already existing fear of the human race. The media controls humans' minds, and we far too often assume when we read.
Companies supplying the advertisements for our periodicals have much of the control here.
The magazines or newspapers need the ads for there funding, but in order to get the ads, sometimes it is necessary for the periodical to write certain articles which will lure the customer into buying the products in the ad's. Another way that it is very hard for change to occur, when the people with the money make the end choices. This is where a lot of influence comes from. This essay deals with how feminism was untruthfully exploited for years through our media. This tactic is used with all issues, not just the feminist movement, and that is a very sick and scary thing.
