Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that media often portrays men and women in stereotypical ways, which can reinforce traditional gender roles and expectations. This can have a significant impact on how people view themselves and others, as well as perpetuate inequality and discrimination.

Additionally, media may distort our ideas of what is beautiful (D), but this is not necessarily a primary factor in shaping gender roles.
