Scrutinizing The Kardashian Family.
Displays women on women media scrutiny.
Regardless how you may feel about The Kardashian family, they took over the ‘reality show’ world. The family chose to show ‘everything’ to the public and made a fortune out of it and it opened many many doors for them. They are constantly in the news. There is always something that they did wrong, or something that is going bad in their life, someone is gaining weight, one of them is pregnant, one of them can’t get pregnant, the other is being cheated on, someone is getting a divorce, and so on. When in reality, they’re just hanging out- making money, even though the media portrays them as idiots people still love to know what is going on in their lives.

“I didn’t think the medias portrayal of women really affected me. I reasoned that if I knew their schemes and made the choice not be affected, Id be okay. But its not a choice. The images and implications of women that are used in the media surround us. The average person consumes thousands of advertisements ever day.”
