The sexy attire that is presented in movies and even cartoons are 28.7 percent female compared to eight percent male. If we look at our beloved childhood family movies such as The Little Mermaid or Aladdin, the female leads in those films are dressed in clothing or lack thereof that is classified as sexy and inappropriate at times. The way smart women represented on television is also something to look at, Diez brings up the example of the contrast between the portrayal of educated females and someone who is a "regular" girl on a popular TV show "The Big Bang Theory".

A study conducted by Moreno-Domínguez, Servián-Franco, Reyes del Paso, and Cepeda-Benito has discovered the effects on women, ranging from 18 to 41 years old, who contributed by reflecting on body images. The research conducted exposed women to skinny models, as well as overweight or plus size models and measured the views on body image and their overall anxiety levels. The results of the research have shown that the social-comparison effect is something that is manipulated by the media and the images women are exposed to that can cause poor body image as well as anxiety.
