Media plays a huge role in the way that different genders are portrayed. Women were previously the ones who were being seen as sex symbols in the media, but recently this is changing. Now, it is not uncommon to see different male celebrities being put into commercials for their good looks. While we are the ones who decide what we do, the appropriateness of our choices depends on our gender. For example, a woman may want to wear a dress one day, but a man cannot without looking like an outcast in society. The influence that media has on portrayal of gender is just about equal to the influence that gender has on what is put into the media.
