5. “A tendency for the procedures and practices of particular institutions to operate in ways which result in certain social groups being advantaged or favoured and others being disadvantaged or devalued. This need not be the result of any conscious prejudice or discrimination but rather of the majority simply following existing rules or norms. Institutional racism and institutional sexism are the most common examples.” From Oxford Reference at http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100005347.

You can see the glam picture at the filmmaker’s website at http://www.jennifersiebelnewsom.com/ I have to agree that this woman does seem to put a big emphasis on beauty and seems to have made a living at it, while simultaneously castigating those in the media who place too much emphasis on beauty. While I get her point, if she is also buying into the hype, what kind of role model is she for young girls?
