Misogyny is a flaw that still exists today. During slavery, women were seen as property and sexual object; for instance, we have Sarah Baartman who thought that she was coming to America just to be seen as nothing but a sexual object because she has a large buttock that no white men have ever seen. A positive portrayal of women is rarely seen in media, as sex appeal has dominated. Media and culture have a habit of excessively sexualizing women while simultaneously encouraging violence amongst males. This image got some women to think that it is normal for their significant other to hit them. Misogyny is also shown in toys, music videos, and other social media form. Hip hop lyrics keep on degrading women, and there's also the sexual commercials.
