Feminist Perspective
With the psychoanalytic perspective, we looked at the world through the eyes of a psychologist. Using the feminist perspective, we will look at the world through the eyes of women. This means that we will pay attention to three main things: 1. How men and women are portrayed 2. The power that men have over women 3. How women challenge negative or stereotypical portrayals and change this power balance

Throughout history people have knocked their heads against the riddle of the nature of femininity ... Nor will you have escaped worrying over this problem-those of you who are men; to those of you who are women this will not applyyou are yourselves the problem. Sigmund Freud

Beyonc Knowles-Carter, 1/12/14

We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isnt a reality yet. Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters earn morecommensurate with their qualifications and not their gender. Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect. Humanity requires both men and women, and we are equally important and need one another. So why are we viewed as less than equal? These old attitudes are drilled into us from the very beginning. We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life. And we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.
