The media- usually male- use their representations to “symbolically annihilate”. For example representations of females in sitcom such as the Simpsons where Marge the wife of Homer Simpson is represented to pick up after him and manage the household while he goes off to work. In one episode Marge is seen to been picking up groceries, taking homers bowling ball to the cleaners and taking care of their child Maggie. Marge is seen to be the family controller where Homer is seen as the bread maker.
