13A Media: Feminism lesson 08/10/12

Today we are moving on to the next part of our representation unit by looking at Feminism. Complete the following tasks:

Read this extract from The End of Men by Hanna Rosin that appeared in the Observer last week and answer the following questions in a blog post: 

To what extent do you agree with Rosin's hypothesis that women are taking over modern society? Give examples in your response.

Can we find examples in modern media that support Rosin's suggestion that women are taking charge? You may wish to argue the opposite - that men still dominate the media scene.

Research Judith Butler's approach to feminism. How might Butler respond to Rosin's writing in The End of Men?
