In so doing, men have blocked women's access to power.

4. why do ads use sexuality to sell?
5. How does the media affect the socialization process regarding sex roles?
6. What problems can arise from this?

Watch 2 hours of TV in which you expect to see different settings for gender roles-situation comedies, dramas, rock videos.
Keep a list of how often females and males present themselves as sex objects.
Keep another list of how often males and females treat members of the opposite sex as sex objects.
Examine these lists and determine any media patterns of general role portrayal.
Are these patterns traditional? Liberal? Sexist? Realistic?
