Women were not only forced to be uneducated, but to practically “wear the pants” in the relationship by doing nothing short of the dirty work.…

    By the late 1960’s and early 70’s women were questioning the inequality in society, including in music culture. With the rise of the feminist movement during the early 1970’s, we saw not just an increase in the number of women participating in pop music but also a change in how they participated.

In this work, women often must use what society expects from them to gain power; often they fail due to being depicted as seductresses who tempt men, and have little to no rights, while being mistrusted based only on their gender.…

The premise of the documentary is to reveals the complexities of women’s role in society, and the double standards that create the gap between the reality of women’s appearances and self-esteem, and the media portrayal of women’s bodies, which are – as the title indicates – severely misrepresented. In the film, there are several examples of the disparities between what is expected of women and the reality…

Mexican immigrant men become machos because in the U.S women have more active roles, such as being employed and in Mexico the male…
