Women have, I believe, stepped it up in the media world which is good. They are now representing some traits I believe women should implement in daily life (instead of just waiting to be rescued sort of scenario). But, as there seems to always be in media, there is an ex
ception. I personally believe that we need to be careful not to overuse the woman figure in media in a way that dulls the audience to what woman should do. Women should not always be shown as sexual attractions. Look at culture and you will see that some women in the world have believed that they are purely sexual attractions. Now that is not the only thing that is pointed out in films nowadays. Women are also portrayed just as inaccurately as feline warriors. Is it bad there are feline warriors? Absolutely not, but the idea therein remains that movies seem to be trying to produce a more masculine woman, which could and is resulting in the degrade of masculine men, and slightly shunning them more towards feminine attributes. Is this an objective case? No, it is very relative and varies from movies to movies, but, from my point of view, it seems that the movies nowadays seem to depict a feline warrior as the main character quite excessively. In reality, I do not see feline warriors around every corner. Is this a good or bad thing? I think a bit of both, but we need to be careful. The feline warrior nowadays is also produced into a sexual attraction in and of itself. Movies seem to put across: "HEY! A feline warrior girl is sexier than one that doesn't fight!" The more we depict woman as the only fighters, the more they will become the only fighters and men will not. You may say this isn't bad at all but I believe it is. Men and women were created by God with different functions. Adam was told to protect and defend the Garden, not Eve. Does that mean she shouldn't fight when the time arises? No, but it does not mean that is her primary function. We need to be careful when depicting women in media.
