From this very detailed article I fully understood with examples how women are misrepresented in the media. There is a lack of women who actually look like real women on TV in roles that everyday normal women take part in, women are stereotyped and made voiceless due to their gender and the immaturity of those who report news.
Women who are not feminine gain little highlight or space in the media. And I think that there could definitely be something we can play on during our protest, like preventing women from saying anything intellectual or pushing the idea that women care more about their looks and those who don't are "lesbians" or "extreme feminists" this idea of hyperbole language and labels could defo be used in our protest. eg. labelling the audience with how the media shows them to be even if they don't say something that conforms to the stereotype.
