Women in the media

So lately I've been getting home around 7pm and I sit infront of the tv for about an hour or so with my dinner and watch House of Payne. I have to say it is a really really funny show but there was an episode last night where the moma(ill call her moma becuase I don't know her name--give me a break I just started watching the show) any ways, moma wants a job but papa is like no way! You can't get a job, your a woman! Your supposed to be staying at home taking care me, cooking me food, cleaning the house and etc. Moma insists and says she is going to get a job no matter what Popa says. Popa says that she won't be sucessfull at her job and that she will come running back to her husband for support. So Moma goes to the mall and gets a job. She does soo well on her first day that the owner promotes her to manager because she did a great job and because the owner fired the only other employee that was there. The point is that women in the media are depicted as powerless house wives who need to stay at home and cook dinner for their husbands. Of course we know this isn't true. Women have been doing great things all over the world. However, I do understand the message the show was trying to portray. That althought women are looked down upon by men they can still succeed if they fasten their seat belt and set their minds on doing whatever it is they want to do.
