Last week, I watched a movie called "Miss Representation,", it was about how women are mistreated, discriminated, unequal to men, and described as less than a man everyday in almost every situation.
During this movie there where many examples of how women are discriminated and mistreated in things like movies, tv shows, and magazines. Examples are video games like Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row, People Magazine, the show "Two Broke Girls" and almost every movie pg 13 or higher rating that involves women. The biggest example was television where girls where forced to have surgeries to make them more "beautiful" and they where photo shopped to look unrealistically beautiful. That made other girls in real life think that they would have to live up to those standards or they aren't beautiful.
Here is a link to some news on this topic http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24522060
My final point is that women are discriminated, mistreated, and treated as lesser people than men for basically no reason and it is wrong. None of these things happen to men, and women deserve the same treatment as men. Nobody deserves to be treated in the same way the women in the movie are treated so I think that we have to change how we act.
