long weekend ahead.
BTT tomorrow.
another assignment to hand up tomorrow.
the topic that i'm writing about is rather interesting. -"portrayal of women in the media"
consistently throughout asia, women have been portrayed in the media as victims, subservient, nurturing, sacrificing and objectified sexualised beings.
they are usually portrayed as the ‘victim’, defenseless, always need to be rescued (i.e damsel in distress).
this does not only represent women as helpless subjects without agency, it also fails to emphasise men’s role as perpetrators in instances of violence against women.

gisele bundchen tops forbes.com's list of the world's richest models, earning $33 million in the last 12 months.
now, i wanna be a model too.
