  • All females are dressed up like very girly flappers (high heels, big colorful hairdos, dresses with short skirts)
  • The song is about California girls being better than girls from other laces in the world. 
  • "The boys Break their necks Try'na to creep a little sneak peek (at us)"
  • "California gurls We're unforgettable Daisy dukes Bikinis on top Sun-kissed skin So hot We'll melt your Popsicle"
  • "Sex on the beach We don't mind sand in our stilettos We freak In my jeep"
  • "These are the gurls I love the most I mean the ones I mean like shes the one Kiss her, touch her Squeeze her buns The gurls a freak"
  • "Home boys Bangin' out All that ass Hanging out"

This song doesn't seem like its purpose was to demea women, It seems like it's just Katy Perry trying to make a sexual song (and copying the beach boys too) because its shocking (not so much anymore) and will sell. Although it can easily be perceived as demeaning to women as the song does constantly sexualize them.

Scenes that could be perceived as demeaning:

I don't think the entire entertainment industry is based around inequalities, but a large portion of it is. 

Why? because sometimes stereotypical jokes are funny, or dirty rap music is shocking and sometimes people like to be shocked.

Social perspective/theory: Conflict

How can we as a society remedy this inequality?: the only choice it seems to stop this inequality in entertainment is to stop funding the people who create forms of media with inequalities, whether by not seeing a movie they're in or by not buying their music. There is another option and that is to just deal with it and realize that  if some form of entertainment does something that makes people feel unequal they probably mean it as a joke, as compared to 75 years ago where they probably wouldn't.]]> 2017-12-12 21:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/31889/dy24feerue9m/wish/215620988 Works cited 31889 https://padlet.com/31889/dy24feerue9m/wish/215624578 Wilkinson, Richard. “The Impact of Inequality.” The New Press, July 2006,        thenewpress.com/books/impact-of-inequality.
