A Feminist Analysis: Role of Media in Maintaining Patriarchal Society

Media influence on the masses is real and it should be ensured by both state and society that we don’t let misogyny develop and normalize through the media and eventually develop a culture where consent does not exist in the name of machismo and heroism.

Heroism is not inflicting violence towards someone or showcasing your physical strength it is your mental strength, virtue and respectful behaviour towards others that makes you a hero. And this is how the media shall present this concept in front of the masses to avoid people, especially youngsters, from getting morally corrupt and trivialised by getting inspired by a wrong character and story. It’s high time stringent action towards the media should be taken to ensure that youngsters don’t get a wrong message from them.
