Women are victims of domestic violence, receive sexist comments and are objectified by the media. Domestic violence occurs due to gender and power inequality in opposite-sex relationships. Society has expectations about how men and women should behave in intimate relationships: men are expected to be the providers and dominant ones while women are devalued as secondary and inferior. Therefore, issues of power, control and autonomy are the main reasons for domestic violence. Every day women experience sexism on television, at work or even at home. Society views men as biologically superior creatures to women. Sexism has become very common and even acceptable and that is the problem (Gill, 14). If women endured sexist comments from a young age, they would naturally accept them and easily become victims of patriarchal society. Another personal issue that affects women is objectification in the media. Images of sexually objectified women appear in television advertising, on the web and in newspapers. This encourages girls to think of and treat their bodies as objects of other people's desires. Women seek to improve their social standing, but sexual objectification reduces them to the status of mere tools for men's purposes and makes them concerned with their appearance (Gill, 14). Women should have enough courage to do it
