Feminist perspective:
- Describes the impact of women's poor portrayal and represantation in the media that directly influences society's perception of women such as exposure to sexist stereotypes in the media. 

- They raise the concern of the magnanimity of the issue when there are no references to more accurate portrayal of women when there is a lack of alternative media which may mislead young men/boys

- An example of this could be boarding schools that are not co-ed

- However this could be critiqued as being too deterministic as they are under the assumption that society passively accepts media representation of women without objection. This also doesnt apply to modern industrial societies as schools are more co-ed and there are various sources of media available as well as more progressive attitudes towards women in the media.
- This could be linked to more equal societies being created 

- The feminist perspective can be related to other units we have covered in sociology, name a few with explanation.

 Education - Women in the media are lacking in represeantation in feilds related to STEM and more traditionally male dominated fields. 
- Positive Descrimination
- Labelling Theory 
- Self-fulfilling prophecy

Socail Inequality - In the workplace women are typically treated at a lower standard than men in terms of pay and relationships between coworkers etc. 

Crime and Deviance - Women are not typically portrayed in the media as hard-shelled criminals, mostly because they are represented in the media as being very submissive and delicate. For example, there is a prevalence of documentaries and commentary on male serial killers and criminals. 

The Family - In traditional families, parents conform to the traditional roles for each gender and indoctrinate these ideals into their children.
