Miss Representation: Politics

In Miss Representation, there is an emphasis on the medias ability to diminish the accomplishments of many political figures including Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton. I was personally infuriated by the clips they put together showing how men would portray women as “bitches” or “ditzy” to make them seem like they weren’t capable of taking part in the decision making that goes into running a country. Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin are two very intelligent women with a better education than most politicians can say (Hillary Clinton attended Yale Law school). The fact that the media attempts to shut down these politicians because they are female and make it seem like they aren’t strong enough to run the country is just absurd.
