Trigger warning: sexual content and abusive depictions in advertising // http://www.upworthy.com/the-next-time-someone-says-sexism-isnt-real-show-them-these-shocking-role-reversal-images What are your thoughts on this video? (I highly recommend Upworthy. There is some pretty great stuff on there!)
That video was very poorly produced, presumptuous, and missing a lot of factors that contribute to their statistics far more than media. Like economic state, or the fact that the crimes listed have been on a steady decline for the last 70+ years.
There is not just one evil entity we can point our fingers at and say, "That is why things are the way they are!" There are many many factors involved in every aspect of our lives that have to be considered. Media portrayals aren't even in the top 3. It's up there, but far from the most influential.
