Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph?
In spite of Title IX, a program that has promoted more opportunities for girls to participate in sports, status and resources still favor boys, who are still perceived as having more athletic ability than girls. Moreover, girls don't elect to participate in athletics as much as boys do; some even see it as a threat to their femininity. Among both boys and girls, self-esteem is higher for those who participate in sports than for their nonathletic peers (Harter, 2012). Nor is this gender difference restricted to North American samples. Girls in England, Australia, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, Holland, China, and South Korea also see themselves as less competent than boys in athletics (Gillen & Markey, 2014; Harter, 2012). Physical appearance contributes to the gender difference in self-esteem as well. A clear link exists between children's ratings of their appearance and their overall self-esteem (Harter, 2012). Unfortunately, few girls can live up to the ideals of beauty in the popular media. Movies, magazines, and TV all focus on the importance of looks that are impossible to achieve, in part because many of them are the result of airbrushing, digital retouching, and combining body parts from different models. The images showcase thinness, tallness, and large breasts. Perhaps in the future, more ads showing girls and women of all shapes and sizes will start a trend toward more realistic images on TV.
