Gender bias can be fixed today -- on screen, at least

Click HERE for article....
A good read....note how the media operates like a doubled-edged sword that cuts both ways -- it can perpetuate bias (think Fifty Shades of Grey), but can also fix or resolve it. Note esp last part of article where in the media, gender equality can be achieved instantly, and then be used to shape people's perception, gradually causing or catalysing change in the real world......

Qns:
1) Can social media really effect change?
2) Can prejudice ever be eliminated? (Cam. 2011)
3) To what extent does the media influence our perception of the world?
