Dreamworld!!!

The media has negatively put its effects on sexuality and romance. Showing men as higher powers and making women look to be seen as slaves to men bowing down to there every command. This presents the idea that women are sex objects. These images people false sense of sex and shows that, people want sex easy and easy romance. With the images given people can have a feel that what the media says is true and the way to be. Intimacy and sex can be present without the role play and we have our own desires through intimacy and sex. In ‘Dreamworld’ male heterosexuality is shown as a powerful sex object that is needed for women to survive. The video portrays the negative stereotype of women being sex objects by them waiting on the men to sweep them off their feet with sexual desires they may have, and shows how the women are dependent on a man. The film also presents men as driven on sex. I feel the media shouldn't have these negative portrayals of sex especially seen through the youth in America. The negative images of sexuality are not what really goes on in our society and these can be harmful. More realistic scenes and images of women should be put out there for respect of women. Music videos portray femininity as submissive, sexy, with whore like women that show their need to having men fulfilling sexual desires and being their dominant force, again showing how women must depend on the men. The stories are just that and not in the womens favor. This is a dreamworld for young boys, young men, and grown men. It shows more of a pornalistic (a new vocab word) world and how sex is a driven factor for men.
A womens dreamworld would be much different and would show different signs of sex. more intimacy, romance, and all that good stuff will be present. the way men and media portray and see women would be different in many ways. Dreamworld has opened my eyes up to the negativity masculinity has and its effect. I feel that the images in todays society of men and women in the pop culture have this impact of violence shown towards girls and women. This is wrong.
