Feminism in the Media

Feminism is a series of movements in the aim for women to achieve equal rights. Women are seen as stay at home wives. Women are supposed to stay at home, look after the children and clean.
Women are also seen as sexual objects from the media. On this cover of 'Rolling Stone' the picture of Katy Perry is there for men to look at. This type of picture has been used to attract the male audience. This is because men will literally be attracted to the front cover image.
Katy Perry is not wearing many clothes. She is dressed very provocatively and revealing. This drives sales and supports the claim that men see women as objects. She is also directly addressing the audience by looking at the camera.

However this magazine cover goes against the way women are portrayed. Here Amy Winehouse is portrayed to be more masculine than most women, with her tattoos and less provocative dress style.
