The video collates and summarises all the cultural attitudes and females have been represented in the media, from music videos to political debates. The video exposes the superficial progression of female representation in the media over the last forty years, or so, and the stigmatism that permeates cultural opinions in present day, for instance one reporter trying to justify the rape of a young woman. The focus is aimed on American media, and despite being well-presented video and emotionally evocative, it ridicules renowned controversial television networks, such as FOX News. It can thus, be accused of some form of propaganda as it only attacks the FOX Network and presenting it only in a light of misogyny and bigotry.
in terms of the music industry, it seems 2013 reached a new ceiling of female objectification that near parodies itself, with Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines and Miley Cyrus' twerking scandals.
