#11 GENDER STEREOTYPES: Sexual stereotypes in media

A study was previously conducted to look at 3 important forms of media: TV, music, and internet to find sexual stereotypes. The study found that all 3 forms of media encouraged sexual attitudes and exemplified how genders should react to sex. These forms of media showed women to act as sexual objects/beings, and men to be highly sex driven and tough. This is an issue because these three forms of media are the most preferred and popular among adolescents. If young adults grow up consuming the media in this way, they will eventually adopt these views of their own gender and the opposite.
