Have your views about girl media audiences been challenged in any way? If so, how? Your response should include specific reference to at least one of the readings. lindaaaaafu https://padlet.com/lindaaaaafu/bl4n4t5fnvxofa2o/wish/1382307935 2021-04-05 07:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lindaaaaafu/bl4n4t5fnvxofa2o/wish/1382307935 lindaaaaafu https://padlet.com/lindaaaaafu/bl4n4t5fnvxofa2o/wish/1382315954 In Diane Pecknold's article, the author explores music teaching that empowers girls in a feminist context. In the process, it helps them to develop self-esteem and to express their ideas and give a better expression to their values (2017). And what is more, in Sandrina de Finney's article. It is shown that more and more girls will express their views on indigenous peoples through the Internet area, and that their language can provide more possibilities for citizen participation (2015). The rise and development of new media has brought new opportunities for girl’s right to speak. Girls have more opportunities to participate in media construction, and have platforms to speak out.
And the challenge to this? I would say yes, it still exists, and it is inseparable from the stereotyped of women about sexuality and race. Like in the Politics of Voice in Tween Girls’ Music Criticism, even though everyone encourages girls to speak their minds, they still can’t escape racial discrimination, “Popular stereotypes about “loud Black girls” make similar behaviour among African American girls far riskier once they move beyond the confines of rock camp (Pecknold, 2017). At the same time, linguistic gender bias will always occur to girls and will describe them as “Name slut” or “Raped” (Finney, 2015). The improvement of girl’s media images and the construction of media discourse are a long-term process, which not only requires the promotion of gender equality, but also the improvement of media monitoring mechanisms.
