– Women are sexualised to be seen as objects, the women in Score are shown to be subservient to men which portrays this objectifying nature
– Men are still sexualised as well as women but men are sexualised in a more positive way, men wouldn’t be sexualised or portrayed in the same way that women are as it wouldn’t be considered ‘masculine’
– Women are more at risk of developing mental health issues from this portrayal of women, women will feel inadequate to men and can develop an eating disorder, depression or low self esteem from seeing this ‘perfect’ model in ads and magazines, it’s damaging to society
– “Children growing up today are bombarded from a very early age with graphic messages about sex and sexiness in the media and popular culture” – Children are being exposed to pornography and sexual images from a young age which can be damaging to their well being as they will develop this understanding on how someone should look a certain way
– “How sexy can a woman feel if she hates her body” – This suggests that society isn’t fair and due to this objectification women won’t feel secure enough in their own body
