English essay help about social media and gender roles?
My argument is that social media has progressed into portraying both sexes as equals.

It's a little hard to argue, as I'm finding out that women are more sexualized than men in general.

-What would be a good counterargument to this?

-Any advices for my poisiton?
By social media, I mean popular culture, mass media, advertising, etc.

i think that if you look at content and images - the counter argument will not be supported

you need a time frame

you need to define what "progressed means"

if you use participation - you may just scrape in with a counter argument that is statistically viable

however - the availability of porn content in social media and the content of Qand A here says otherwise....

When you refer to "social media", do you mean for example Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr?
Is that the kind of social media you mean to have equalised genders?

Added: You might need to focus on a particular area of "equals". Pick an area of life and examine if you think mass media portrays equality in that narrow area of interest. An industry, academia, something.

I do not know where you should focus. But here is Karen who "hits like a girl!"
