Media Messages

Who is this world to tell us who to be?  

Why is it okay for the media to tell us what to view as beautiful, feminine, masculine, or acceptable?  Why do we allow messages of the exalted violent male, and the emaciated perfect female to be markers by which we judge an individuals ability to be a successful member of society?  Why do we have a double standard for men and women?  Why do we focus so much on the differences between the sexes, exacerbating them, instead of trying to bridge the gap?  Why does the media send these messages?

And why do we believe them?
