I didn't see the tv propoganda in your post. You made a general statement about how women are brought up. I was brought up by my parents.
And my point was that that's a ridiculous statement....if TV teaches us anything...it's that only thin, young and beautiful people get what they want.

I specifically stated TV shows, and the media, and the school system, following that post I also posted two specific shows to illustrate my point. TV teaches young girls they should have many boyfriends, they should consider only their own needs, that their satisfaction in life is the only thing that matters and everything else is second, it shows that housewife's, or women without high paying jobs are inferior and dumb and that any woman who isn't a highly paid executive is an idiot, to be derided. Take a look at Sex in the City, now available on cable for instance. Even the most family oriented of shows send subtle messages that if girls are not promiscuous, and self centered they are folksy and useless.
