Miss Representation - Documentary on women in media

Speed past the self-congrats ads for O Network and the back-patting of the director, once you get into the meat of the interviews with women in positions of power, it's interesting, and the stats certainly make you stand up and pay attention, it's not just about how images of women in media make us unhappy with our physicality (after all that's how you sell product) but it's about how this hinders our advance into the political arena and how as soon as women make any headway at all, the pushback is so strong.

Women create most of the blogging content online (about 80%) at least, so let's start harnessing this energy.
