The media has the same effect on women as it does on men.The media's main aim, i think, is to create a problem then create for you a solution to that problem. & people end up stuck in that whirlwind of these media controlled lives.They have shows, magazines etc that tell you what not to eat, what not to wear, how to talk, who to date, snog, marry or avoid, etc etcEveryone gets caught up in it. If it's not directly it's indirectly by trying to prove that you are not caught up in one thing by replacing it with another without noticing that it is just a media solution to that problem they created for you.This talk could go on & on & we could break down EVERYTHING in our lives & see that it is all media driven. "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.." [shakespeare]
