An obvious premise to an uncomfortable reality in seven steps
1. Media companies answer to their advertisers, not to you. Advertisers are the customer, you are the product
2. Media companies don't produce content which offends the advertisers or their target demographic
3. Advertisers want to sell you stuff and if you stop watching because you get offended or aren't engaged, you won't buy the stuff
4. This leads to an inevitable bias in the content they produce towards the people who buy the stuff.
5. The question is: who buys the most stuff, and would therefore have a bias in their favor?
6. The answer: women. Women make 70-80% of consumer purchasing decisions
7. Media is biased in favor of women
If you're wondering why so many headlines don't survive the "gender swap test", or why men are maligned in broad strokes in ways you aren't allowed to do to other groups? This is one major underlying reason.
