Gender

During the past election, we were able to see how Men and Women are viewed in the media. One of the most major things I would relate to the article, is how Sarah Palin was described as a beauty queen who used republican money to buy a new wardrobe. Palin and Clinton were both compared to one another in how they dressed. The women had to make it clear they would be strong enough to hold such a position. The men have always been shown as strong figures who can run a country. Clinton was also in a tough position due to her pubic life. She had already been the first lady, a Senator, and now was running for President. The media didn't know how to portray her. I feel as if they through out everything they already knew about her and just showed her as the first female running for president. Rather than showing all her strengths she has had in her political life.
