Introduction

 My blog’s theme is how women in politics are treated differently by the media than men, and I choose this topic because while watching and reading the news I have often noticed that womens’ appearances are analyzed more closely than mens’ when running for public office. Political candidates are already under a microscope when running for office but then the focus is even more increased on women as their fashion and physical appearance becomes a hyper focus for the media. For example I will specifically analyze previous articles written about Stacey Abrams and Amy Coney Barrett when they were in the public eye. This topic is relevant because during each election season news articles and journalists discuss female candidates appearances and rarely ever focus on this topic for the male candidates. As you follow my blog post I encourage you to pay close attention to how news articles and journalists discuss womens’ appearances more than men during election season.
