Taking a look back at things that we have talked about in the course so far and the one that sticks out most to me is the topic of wrestiling and how it disrepects women. I am a BIG fan of wrestling, or was, i dont't really watch it anymore but I've never noticed how badly women were displayed on the show until now. When I watched it is was funny to me and pure entertainment. Now that I'm older and I look back at some clips of WWE I realize that women were treated as objects and not human beings. I know that seeing barely dressed women and seeing women get thrown around or fighting half dressed is just for entertainment but watching it now is kind of heartbreaking. Women are so much more than that. I believe that wrestling has come a long way and that women are looked at slightly different now in the entertainment business but there will always be that mindset for men I believe that women should be half naked and at ring side supporting their man. That is their role in my eyes and I'm not sure how much of that is going to change.
Below is a clip of just how women are treated in the WWE
Good Point! I think now that we're older and realize what wrestling is really about it gives us second thoughts ( I still can't believe she got on her knees and barked to him like a dog ,)
