EQUALITY FOR ALL

The two documentaries' purposes were heightened when played back to back.  I completely agree with the expressed views that women are objects to society.  As much as I love magazines and advertisements, I do not agree with the exploitation and fabrication of the female body or like in "Tough Guise," the male body.  I hope that America will invest their attention realistically into advertisements.  I want to see everyday, ordinary people advertised.  A woman shouldn't look at a ad for her favorite jeans and cringe because she will never look the same as the waif-like model.  My view is basically synonymous to the women in the first documentary, except I thought she exaggerated a bit.  Although the ideas she obtained from some of the pictures were a stretch, she made an excellent point that women still have a way to go for total equality. Men on the other hand have no need for a search for equality.  They search for ways to trump other men in physique and attitude.  What opened my eyes was to see the Star Wars figurines drastically change from ordinary looking in the 1970s to ultimately not tangible in the 1990s.  I cannot stand the men in the world that only care about their appearance.  A perfect example of those men are featured in the reality show, "Jersey Shore."
