Representation of women in the media

There are two polarised portrayals on the representation of women. The first one is Abby, who is represented as a very strong character - perhaps the strongest of them all. She is wearing basic gear which you could see on a man or a woman - and is a countertype. Jenny is the complete opposite, being feminine and very stereotypical towards how women are shown in the media. She uses her appearance to get what she wants - but as soon as the power is switched to the man she backs down defenceless.
