I can't think of a title.

Growing up I watched every Disney Princess movie under the sun. Each story the same: beautiful hopeless woman is trapped by some type of evil force, lies there helplessly until a strong man rescues her, and she in return marries him and they live "happily ever after". Watching these movies over and over automatically gives young girls the impression that they are lost until a man sweeps them off their feet. Also, did any of those princesses think once to go on a date with the prince before riding off in the sunset to marry them?
In today's media SEX SELLS. Almost every female artist out there wear provocative clothing and shake their booties around while singing their songs. They realize that their audience are more likely to enjoy their performance if they are more risque. I actually don't even like Taylor Swift because her music and image is so innocent and baby-like and all of her music reflect the Disney Princess theme. In comparison to her female counterparts, she can only target a handful of listeners (other completely innocent women, and little girls).
It's hard to realize how some commercials and songs can be demeaning to women because they all reflect the powerful woman's image today. A powerful woman like Beyonce or Lady Gaga strut around in their leotards and perform provocatively. I, personally, share more appreciation for the riskier women like Marylin Monroe and Britney Spears who sings songs about threesomes and such, rather than a song about a damsel in distress who needs a man to save her. I find myself laughing at the Dr. Pepper 10 commercial instead of jumping off my couch screaming "I can drink a Damn Dr. Pepper 10 if I wanna!". I feel that the reason I can easily overlook the underlying image of how women aren't allowed this certain drink because we're not strong enough, is because there's hardly any empowering or equalizing commercials for women out there. We subconsciously believe that we actually aren't strong enough or manly enough for the Dr. Pepper 10, so we laugh latently in agreement to the message.
Meh... oh well..

Give us a break!

Almost every woman on Earth is expected to hold a certain image that their men have created for them: behind the sink wearing an apron, pot roast in the oven, and a baby in her arms. For my grandmother the housewife-life must have been strenuous by taking care of 3 children, but for most of our mothers and today's generation of women, it is much more hard. My grandparents lived in an all-american household: Papaw worked while Mamaw cooked, cleaned, and cared for her children. That was her daily job. However, I remember how hard it was in my household watching my mother try to fulfill her duties while "second-shifting" every day. 

My mom worked 9-5 at a hair salon then came straight home to prepare supper and to clean the house. It especially became harder on her when my dad left and she had to get a second job. To be able to afford our house, she was forced to work at the salon 9-5, come home to my brother and I and cook dinner, and then do more hair in our basement from 6-9. I honestly don't see how she did it while maintaining her class, beauty, and motherhood. Today's women are pressured to get jobs outside of the house only yet to return home after work and care for the family. It puts more stress on today's women because they deserve the greatest appreciation and don't get it most of the time because it's somewhat "expected" from them to play this Super Mom role. Husbands in return (most of the time) don't contribute because they think their jobs require more from them and need to come home to relax when in reality, the wives are working twice as hard every day; but we push through it because it's our duty. 

It's sad to think that we have fought so hard to gain the same working rights as men, but get no help in the home because the men believe it's nothing else but their instinct. Husbands need to help us in the household because today's housewives are growing more and more stressed and thus, some wives commit suicide unfortunately.
