Pop Culture, Sexism, & Body Image
The media and pop culture treat women as if our bodies are our most valuable attributes – and we buy right into it.

The constant stream of sexist and degrading messages undermine our personal, social, and political power -- but we can reclaim it.

(Draft cover)
The War on Women is about control. Underlying the reproductive health debate is a cultural sense of entitlement over our bodies and an effort to keep us in our places. Anti-choice rhetoric implies that women are too morally challenged or irresponsible to make personal decisions about our own bodies. Our right to choose when or whether to have children impacts our power in society and our personal fulfillment. Any effort to block that right is an attack on women's equality and freedom.
