'No More Page 3'.
What is the video about?
The video is about stereotypes that are created like woman aren't legible or aren't physically able to play sports like men. They also showed how woman in magazines and newspapers are 'manufactured' and always try to make themselves look good and care about their image.
"Our volunteers were cutting out pictures for 5 1/2 hours and in that time we found no sportswoman featured in their sports pages. Not one. We may not have got round to every single edition (the rules of the experiment were if we cut one photo out of an edition we’d cut every photo out of that edition, but we’d stop when the wall was full) so perhaps we missed the one or two images in their extensive coverage of women in the Commonwealth Games and Wimbledon tennis, but honestly, we were as surprised as The Sun to find no women in their sports pages."
Women are seen as objects in society and aren't given much respect from a feminists' point of view. However, the fact that they are in those magazines and newspapers showing that explicit content shows that they don't respect themselves because they are portraying themselves in this way.
