Women in the media

Discussing the representation of women in movies and TV shows. What needs to change? The media has a significant influence on our perceptions of women. Let's discuss the portrayal of women in media and what changes are needed to promote more positive and diverse representations.

I think it's high time we see a shift in the way women are portrayed in media. Too often, female characters are limited to clichéd roles or are objectified. We need more complex, multi-dimensional female characters who break free from stereotypes.

Something that's driving me mad at the moment is men audiobook narrators. So many do a hideous high, slightly whispers voice for any/all female characters,  no difference between characters, moods or emphasis. Robert Glennister is a notable exception.  He manages to make Robert Galbraith's characters seem like real people.
