Sign Of The Times

Trouble is Arista we have heard this all before but little changes. You still see the women doing the vacuuming, making the kids lunches and doing the washing-up in most TV ads.

Women are still being portrayed as sex objects by the media not least in the entertainment industry, although I also blame women to some degree as many women play up to that image of themselves.

Many female artists sell sex by selling their own sexuality to sell their music whilst many male artists also sell female sexuality to sell their music - they don't flaunt themselves. It's sad that in this day and age women still feel the need to do that especially highly successful female artists such as Rhiannon and many more. It doesn't do much for female equality - except hinder it.
