disgusting.

The following is a video compiled by The Women's Media Center. The WMC is an organization that "strives to make women visible and powerful in the media." The video's intent is to showcase "the pervasive nature of sexism in the media's coverage." See the WMC homepage here and more about the video, 'Sexism Sells, But I'm Not Buying it' here.




Favorite parts = Gloria Steinem's quote at 2:15, men 'allowing' women to 'take over the world' at 3:40, and the official petition by the WMC which reads as follows:

"Media companies may think that sexism sells, but I'm not buying it! Together with the Women's Media Center, I call on the national broadcast news outlets (CNN, FNC, MSNBC and NBC) to stop treating women as a joke; to stop using inherently gendered language as an insult or criticism; and to ensure that women's voices are present and accounted for in the national political dialogue. Sexism isn't a partisan issue. We're not going to let anyone hit the snooze button on this important issue!"
