In recent years, the film and television industry has developed rapidly, and the stereotypes portrayed in film and television works have a huge impact on people’s image preferences. As women become increasingly important in society, they still appear in an unequal image in current electronic media. This article explores the impact of unequal images on people and the challenges women face today through questionnaire surveys and interviews, combined with literature analysis. Research has found that the public does not believe that women have equal status and that female images in film and television works are sufficiently realistic. The media always promotes feminism to the public in a negative way, which makes it difficult to see the impact of media attention on the current reality of feminism. Displaying authentic female images to guide public attention to the challenges faced by women is an appropriate way to improve current movies and TV dramas. Many papers have discussed the impact of feminism on the media, and this paper will discuss the impact of media on feminism from a global feminist perspective. This study will provide reference value for gender equality issues and women’s work environment, and provide reference suggestions for the development of the film and television production industry.
