| ...The
media is churning out images, of white Western women, in the Third
World - saying this brand of cream will whiten all women's skin; on
the other hand, images of the Third World 'savages', their clothes
and tattoos, are being used to show off the latest in fashion. These
are issues to really think about. ...People working in news are not
far behind in their representation of women: any woman who plants
a tree by the road is development worker, a South-East Asian woman
who ties her hair in the morning is surely a sex worker, a woman from
this region who sits inside a mosquito net must suffer from AIDS ?
this is how things really are... |
