Media represents what it means to be a girl in contemporary culture. Ongoing themes we see are those of the body- showing that improvement is possible for all women! Another is sex- mostly heteronormative.
Male and Female Relations and Female Empowerment- These concepts represent specific vehicles which women end up socializing through which they didn’t not that long ago when child rearing was the main gig. Talking about sex and intertwining with consumer culture are really the hallmarks of post-feminism.
We can see the influence of neo liberal capitalist culture at play everywhere where girls engage in commercial and consumptive beauty and makeover for more self love.
The works of these monstrocities encourage women to constantly perfect themselves and match up with pop media…it’s just the way it is now….even though its not.
