-Question: Describe three different ways that gender stereotyping was shown in this video.
-Answer: Gender stereotyping was used to advertise a product. This was shown many times in the video, one being a house wife stereotype for the Electrolux commercial, portrayal of how girls should be raised to become a house wife in the Rose Petal Cottage commercial, and males should smell like "men" and not "girly" in the Old Spice commercial. Another use shown was the use of portraying that males naturally think they are superior then females. In the Anchorman and Million Dollar Baby clip it showed that the Male character was a male stereotype that believed that males are naturally better, smarter, stronger, etc. A third way that gender stereotypes was shown was in the Daily Show clip that showed that unfortunately there are women in the world that think they are inferior to men and that men are the ones that should be commanding and such.

From LauraJaeckel: I agree that there are gender stereotypes in the media. They advertise cooking products and home products to women, suggesting that they should still be the women that stay home and clean the house and cook. They advertise things to men that are active, and handyman work, suggesting that they should still be the fix it guys.
ReplyDeleteMaybe soon it will not be like that anymore. Maybe the men and women stereo types will swap and you'll see commercials of men cooking and women doing the handyman work :)
