Discussion Question 10/15

Reading through this article made me think, "Are ways in which women are portrayed in the media in 1978 (when this article was written) similar to how women are portrayed now in 2012 or have their roles evolved? I, myself have noticed plenty of films that portray a women as a heroine rather than a damsil in distress. And the ways in which women are objectified in film are usually to the characters advantage, she usually uses her femme fatal to lure men in and get her way. Is this change enough?
