Lol, thanks. I'm glad that other people notice the bias the news has as well ( being that the news in this context is different than the general media, but still just as disgusting ). They paint women as precious, vulnerable things, when they are just as strong, even stronger, than men. I've seen a woman pin a man down, kick him, punch him, so it's not like women are fragile glass figures, and I hate it when women act like they are. I hate that it's taboo for a guy to be hurt, or to tell someone that they're suffering; just because you're a guy doesn't mean you should have to "suck it up" and keep it inside silently while women are told to tell everyone if they're hurt.

The anorexia thing is another subject I'm irked with as well. There are males who suffer from it, but you hardly hear about it. Does that mean they're not important because they're male? It shouldn't be that way.

At the same time though, I'm not dissing the entire feminism cause. Their problems and hurdles and sufferings do exist. As far as media goes, it just needs to be entirely redone in general to be fixed. I mean if not discrimination, expectations and stereotypes, it turns people into thoughtless robotic sheep who flock to trends like ants to a popsicle.

Ah but, going back to Fey's examples of famous women who don't fit the media's stereotype of "pretty", I want to list some who I thought were kickass.

Roseanne Barr was kickass; she was like a tv-mother to me, but she was a great role model to look up to, in my opinion. Rosie O'Donnell was also awesome in the peak of her fame, I believe. Again, Adele is possibly the most beautiful woman on earth in my opinion. Oprah's amazingly successful. Hilary Clinton may get flack, but look at what she's done, no matter if sometimes I don't agree with what she does; she's still majorly successful. Conchata Ferrell should be getting more and more well known because of her role as Berta on Two and a Half Men, since she's awesome in that role, lol. I'm sure there are many more that are making their way up there, but at least there are more than a few amazing women who aren't the type that the media tries to pass off as "ideal". At the same time though, those types who are passed off as "ideal" shouldn't be stigmatized also. Like Mayim Bialik, who plays Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory; I mean, she's not just an awesome actress, she also has a PhD in neuroscience. Hell, all the actresses on The Big Bang Theory seem to be completely awesome.

So there's also that. xD; /endramble.
