Calli Roberts on 19 Mar 09This article discusses the most recent presidential election and gender bias words used in the media against Hilary Clinton. In many cases she was referred to as "bitch". People often focus on her negative influence and the fact she is a women in the media instead of the positive things she has done. This is very much an opinion piece but shows a different side of the argument. I can use this in my paper to show how gender bias literacy can be used in the media to help persuade voters to vote a certain way. This also shows how by discriminating by race can take away from the positive qualities because the media is to focused on the sex of the person. I can use this example to prove this.
