FREE Film Screenings! “Miss Representation” and “The Mask You Live In”
“Miss Representation” and “The Mask You Live In” PTS Rainbow Covenant and Women’s Caucus have joined to host this day-long event to view the films and to have discussions about the pressure that society has placed on people to live within their gender stereotypes. Pittsburgh Theological Seminary Hicks Chapel Auditorium Saturday, May 13th 10am - 3pm. Lunch will be provided. “Miss Representation” Documentary [CC] The media is selling the idea that girls’ and women’s value lies in their youth, beauty, and sexuality and not in their capacity as leaders. Boys learn that their success is tied to dominance, power, and aggression. We must value people as whole human beings, not gendered stereotypes.
