The media is constantly bombarding us with media every day of our lives. There is no denying that it affects everyone, but how much is debatable. When you see something over and over again, you get used to it and stop paying much attention to it. We see the media stereotype women as weaker than men. We get used to seeing this in the media, so when we see it in our lives, we don’t think about it as much, so we don’t realize how are actions are affected by these images and stereotypes. The opposite happens when our dominant culture is attacked. For example, if a women raped a man, it would be the headlines of many medias. Since we see things like women being the weaker sex, it occurs so much that we don't pay attention to it. My point is we don’t realize this affect these images are having on us so there is no way to measure how much of an influence these stereotypes have on our society.
