I started my coding this weekend,
My group is studying the objectification of women in magazines.
One thing that I noticed was that about 90% of the objectified women were white...
Which brought up a lot of questions for me.
I'm really interested now if this is because most magazines feature a white majority,
Or if they are really targeting white women as more sexual objects.
Either way, the message being sent to women is loud and clear--
So common also, that unfortunately we are starting to take it for 'normal'.
After coding and watching "MissRepresentation" this week,
I've started to realize what a poisonous epidemic objectification is...
And that I've become so conditioned to it that I've been dominantly desensitized until recently.
I'm grateful for this class and the media awareness it has brought to my life.
