Content: The Family has plunged into the digital world. They bear the partial isolation from the real world and the society. One of the reasons is their attachment with the virtual society created by technology. Media and gender discrimination: Women are portrayed in media generally as victims, subservient, nurturing, sacrificing and objectified sexualized beings. This not only inaccurately represents the diversity of women’s lives, roles and experiences, women’s contributions to the socio-political and economic development of society are often neglected. The perpetuation of stereotypes in images and representation solidifies women’s traditional roles and unequal gender relations in multiple ways. There are many more examples, such as women’s portrayals in an increasingly consumer-driven culture and the commodification of women’s bodies in advertising, pornography and conflict situations. Such stereotypical and controversial media content widen the gender disparity. That might be the reason todays educated bunch of feminist prefer alternative media to advocate their rights and social identity.
