New Seeds Mic - Feb - Mass Media and the Sexual Exploitation of Women

Another amazing night! Vanessa Brown gave a great presentation on Mass Media and the Sexual Exploitation of Women. In the ensuing discussion, she related a poignant personal story about a 14-year old caught up in a world of stripping and gangs. Issues brought up were: the pros and cons of stripping; and is the exploitation of women a consumer driven event? Venus Jones presented challenging pieces, including one on the female paradigm of beauty and another on getting attention through violence. Robin presented comedy ranging from motherhood issues to Iraq. Vanessa sang her wonderful "Ten Past Eight", and "Slipping Through". Suzanne presented pieces on women's images in the media and pay and the women's psyche.
