Much of the book focuses on the movie Mean Girls and its accompanying message that women are the problem. Through quirky jokes, this film shows the true side and background of animosity and revenge in the way women treat each other. “Mean Girls shows how the tyranny of narrow, unforgiving standards of femininity and warmth force girls to police themselves and punish those who fail to live up to these standards” (Douglas, p.236). The worst part of the concept of sexism is that women compete with each other instead of strengthening each other to be better individuals. This book analyzes the logic and mentality of these girls and shows that their competitive nature leads them to be constantly "better" and more desirable than other women. Douglas points out that because of this competition many women go to great lengths such as life-threatening plastic surgery, spend countless amounts of money on beauty products, and harm themselves through extreme diets to attempt to make changes to their appearance to please the others. “By creating a certain type of message, the media can manipulate people's attitudes and opinions” (Wolska). Messages across numerous media sources, even mildly humorous ones, do not portray equality and happiness as they claim to do, but instead push women to go to great lengths to attempt unattainable goals.
