I watched South Park last night, which was pretty good, but the new episodes are starting to get kind of strange. South Park uses queefs and farts to compare men and women. It shows how there are things that society is acceptable towards men, can be completely different for women, and vice versa. The episode shows how America is full of immature men and motherly women to take care of their children/husband who will never grow up. It reminded me a lot of the article "Beauty and the Patriarchial Beast".

South park is always a great place to find misinterpretations of gender. For example, Mr. Garrison became Mrs. Garrison and South Park pokes fun at the transgendered society, but almost compliments it with the shows portrayal of them having power. It continues to show the Jonas brothers as teen sex symbols, which i thought was hilarious. The show really just shows how it doesn't matter if you are a man or a woman, you can be manipulated into doing things for money at any stage of your life.

An example of femininity being shown in a more powerful aspect is in the move Charlie Wilson's War. The character played by Julia Roberts shows that women can be powerful and make things happen while still portraying a very feminine look. This movie shows women as both powerful and dependent as you see the differences between Julia Roberts and the other girls that play roles as Charlie Wilson's assistants.

I recently watched "Rock Of Love: Tour Bus" with Bret Michaels. I don't know if there is any worse way to view America's idea of an ideal feminine image. I mean i don't have a problem with the show, i just thing that it sends the wrong idea to women as what men look for. In my opinion Bret picks the girl who either gives it up the easiest or does it best, i think it honestly has nothing to do with a relationship or a future wedding. On another note, I think it is both comical and sad, what this world's TV shows are coming to.

I just watched the movie crash yesterday, and i think that the scene where the black couple gets pulled over shows man's role in flim. They are being unjustly disturbed and pulled over just because they are black. But, then the cop feels up the man's wife while he just watched. Later when they got home, she couldn't believe he didn't man up and beat up the cop.
