Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Russian TV defends men over sex pest claims
There has been extensive media focus on sexual harassment claims in the U.S. Those who have been accused are celebrities like a movie producer, actors, and politicians. Some of them choose to admit their inappropriate conducts they did long ago before being publicized by the victim or others.
While most of the western media are paid by sponsors, they need to present what more people are interested to see or hear. Meanwhile, to keep the medium’s integrity, they are required to be neutral and sensitive to equality issues such as gender, race, and religion.
On the contrary, Russian media that are being embraced by the administration don’t seem to be limited as to what and how to speak about such delicate matters. They’ve recently presented conservative, traditional views on women without consideration of such social contexts and even made fool of American media and public on sexual harassment issues.
Interestingly, while most Russians expect women to play traditional roles, there are some fields that Russian women have higher representation than other countries.
Enjoy reading and think which media represent
