Billboard Hot 100 Women | WGS.111
https://kwoldu.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/billboard-hot-100-women
Billboard Hot 100 Women. April 13, 2016. After watching the in-class presentation on women in the media, I took it upon myself to do some research. Most specifically, I wanted to understand how rooted is the sexualization of women in the music industry . I felt a good barometer was to look at the women most lauded in music today. A universal indicator of how well an artist is doing right now would be look at the Billboard Hot 100. There, you can find a list of the 100 most popular singles of the past week.

March 8, 2016. A man stalked Erin Andrews through three cities, rented hotel rooms next to her, and filmed her naked. Seemingly all with the intention of distributing said video to TMZ and getting paid. Now, here is where the story typically ends in articles such as this. March 7, 2016. March 7, 2016. Although I did not watch the Oscars this year, it was a guarantee that I had heard about them. How could you not? If we pressure them into selecting diversity for the sake of diversity, we risk implanting i...

Memes of Old: Harlem Shake. March 30, 2016. March 30, 2016. How could anyone forget the Harlem Shake. I mean this is classic. https:/ www.youtube.com/watch?

Types of Selfies | WGS.111
https://kwoldu.wordpress.com/2016/04/26/types-of-selfies
April 26, 2016. April 26, 2016. By this point, a couple of these selfie types have probably come to mind. Most notably, you have the selfie that highlights a body part. I like to call this the “Show you my good side” selfie. A good example would be this famous selfie of selfie queen,Kim Kardashian. Then there’s the “Look at me! I just met a celebrity” selfie. And we can’t forget the bathroom selfie, a staple of all Instagram profiles worth following. Lesbians in Popular Media. Re: The Issue with Labels.

The Selfie Dilemma | WGS.111
https://kwoldu.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/the-selfie-dilemma
April 21, 2016. The selfie phenomena entered the public consciousness in 2010 with the arrival of the iPhone 4 and its front-facing camera. Not soon after, people were taking selfies left and right. Selfies give people the ability to further control their image by simply taking the images themselves. It is the reason they are so popular. Selfies give people more control.

Women in Hacking | WGS.111
https://kwoldu.wordpress.com/2016/05/04/women-in-hacking
May 4, 2016. In light of this week’s reading, I decided to look into famous women hackers. Now, it is a well-perpetuated stereotype that hacking is a social circle dominated by men. However, this stereotype unfortunately fails to inform the public of the many female hackers who have laid their mark. Natasha Grigori was a pioneer in early hacking. Eventually, she rose to prominence for her stand against child pornography, launching the site antichildporn.org. Re: The Issue with Labels. Lesbians in Popular...

Lesbians in Popular Media | WGS.111
https://kwoldu.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/lesbians-in-popular-media
Lesbians in Popular Media. April 21, 2016. April 21, 2016. Last week’s reading on the distorted portrayal of lesbians had me thinking. I quickly looked for first-hand examples of lesbians in roles that seemingly cater to a specifically straight-male audience. Here is what I found. Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” is a perfect example of lesbianism turned heterosexual fanfare. The titular character engages in lesbian behavior but only if “boyfriends do not mind it.”.
