New Media and Gender Inequality in Sexuality
History of inequality in men and women's sexuality
Old forms of media like TV/Movies/Magazines/Music perpetuate stereotypes
Men are praised for promiscuity and women are criticized for promiscuity and called "whores", "sluts", "hoes" and other degrading terms
Men are more prevalent in big TV + movie roles as well as director and producer roles
Ways new media is
changing
inequality
Women are more likely to use social media than men are
Movements and awareness have a huge reach and can be seen by millions of people
Movements are making people feel more included and heard such as MeToo and body positive trends
New media can prevent echo chambers if you use new media in that way because you can see other opinions easier
Ways new media is
perpetuating
inequality
Trends in comment sections saying "This is why I don't want a daughter" when girls post revealing content
Men are praised for their bodies in new forms of media
Women are most likely to be cyberbullied
Posts from parents about sons get more likes than posts about their daughters
Women who post revealing pictures are still being criticized for this
How society can decrease inequality in men and women's sexuality?
Continue the momentum we currently have innew media with movements like MeToo and body positivity awareness
Balance the content we see in news/press/media because it isn't enough to just occasionally touch on women's issues
Getting the management of new media companies to commit to improve equality
Show different genders in ALL different types of roles in new media and not just stereotypical roles
