A Profile of Americans’ Media Use and Political Socialization Effects: television and the Internet’s relationship to social connectedness in the USA ― Daniel German & Caitlin Lally There are more “non-humans” on TV than women. Talk about unequal gender representation in the media. (via yourlittle-bird) And basically all of that 17% are skinny white cis women. (via sugaredvenom) Bolded because of Truthiness. Much, much truthiness. (via madamethursday) White cis and straight women Because you know, god forbid that women ever be portrayed being romantically and sexually fulfilled and happy with other women No, they have to be paired off with whatever boring as hell dude is in the cast instead (via thefingerfuckingfemalefury) This is a sad reflection of the fact that society has more love and respect for objects than it does for women in general. We are HIGHLY misrepresented in every form of media and when a show comes along trying to show diversity, its immediately shut down or cancelled. :( (via intricatelystructuredjewel) And of course any time the cast isn’t all white straight cis males suddenly people start whining about ‘pandering’ or some other such utter garbage they make up so they can whine about the fact that a series doesn’t pretend that POC and LGBTQ people don’t exist Just SO sick of how little representation women like me get on TV and how godawful it usually is when we DO get it… (via thefingerfuckingfemalefury) *Hugs you tight* I will someday be a producer and bring beautiful queer, trans, black, curvy and petite ladies to the screen. Because gut-fooking dammit we’re not all white cis, 5’9, straight females. >:-( (via intricatelystructuredjewel) AND I WILL WATCH ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU PRODUCE FOR THEY SHALL BE AWESOME :D And the kind of shows that I actually WANT to watch and spend my time and money on <3
