"The Tabs: no men allowed"

The article discusses the thought that female celebrities are more often victims of bad media than men. The article states, "most readers of gossip are women, and gossip writers think that women prefer to read about other women." And if an article focuses on a male in a tough situation it will "ruin the fantasy of him" for the female.

The obsession with females fantasizing over males has lead to a large bias against women in the media. One online article states,"the media’s obsession with female celebrities looks and personal lives sends a message to all women…a woman’s life is public property, especially her sexuality and reproductive status." A comparison between a male and a female actor in a magazine displays the issue: "the man is fully clothed, active, and joyous [while] the woman is half-naked, passive, and vulnerable."

Some woman would rather read about a female celebrity's life falling apart than have their fantasy of their favourite male fall apart. Unfortunately, the lack of male celebrity's being the center of negative-media is that it shows women in a lesser light than men.
