Analysis Of Jamieson 's ' The Double Bind ' And ' A Bitch '

Which presidential candidate leads the polls? Does belligerent racism personify Trump? Does Hillary have what it takes to deal with her Benghazi baggage? Does Bush have daddy issues? Does Carson pop sleeping pills? Does Sanders have a mind as crazy as his hair? Often, these topics lead to heated debates about who will truly make America great again. The media constantly divulges about “[the] Baggage, the Gaffes and the Billionaires” of the upcoming election (Dickinson and Kelley), and with the 2016 presidential election around the corner, the topic of politics has become a bullet nearly impossible to dodge. Maureen Dowd a disputatious Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times cajoles and educates her audience through the use of emotional appeals, a polemic writing style to argue controversial topics, as well as a dauntless and sardonic tone appealing to the audience, in order to convince the readers of her tenacious viewpoints against political leaders while also captivating and further informing the public about the political parties.

Jon Cozart begins his satire of the 2016 political campaigns by targeting on Hillary Clinton first. In order to understand the claims, he makes in the piece it is necessary to have an understanding of all of the different events that were happening during the campaign. Without an understanding of the political climate throughout the campaigns, Cozart’s claims are not as potent. Specifically, in Hillary’s section he uses her focus on women’s rights and her reputation as shifty as the foundation for his argument. Jon Cozart believes Hillary to be power hungry and egotistical and uses rhetorical tropes and schemes to paint this picture of Hillary.

In light of this year’s monumental and thought provoking presidential election between business magnate, Donald Trump, and New York senator, Hillary Clinton, the misogynistic rhetoric drew controversial division amongst the country. The value and significance of a woman have advanced from the cult of domesticity to a politically intricate executive, but that graduation exhibits seldom progress for women in media such as television, film, and theater. The depiction of females deters the accuracy and complexity of African American and latino women and limits their characteristics as peripheral, unoriginal, and one-dimensional objects of a man’s pleasure. Absurdity conveys in continuously seeing women setting the tables, giving a kiss on the cheek

As with most electoral races, the media takes on the role of portraying images of candidates to the public. The motives behind these conscious, deliberate decisions vary greatly, but the results are always interesting to dissect. Starting with the June 20, 2016 issue of The New Yorker, we see a depiction of Secretary Clinton mid-fight, sitting in the corner of a boxing ring (appropriate following the death of Muhammad Ali), sporting her confident, signature grin despite all the

One identified contributor to women's slower than expected assent into leadership is the persistence of assumptions and stereotypes that women are intrinsically "communal" or "dependent" and "passive", and therefore, lack the capacity to succeed as leaders. (National Academy of Sciences National Academy of Engineering Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, 2006 as cited by Isaac, Kaatz & Carnes, 2012).

This is essay will establish the different gender roles between the two candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. This paper will briefly give a short summary during the debates as well as some media content. I will also demonstrate that Donald Trump is misogynistic, racist and sexist by using his statements during this election process. Furthermore, I will analyze the whole presidential campaign and correlate the candidates with class lectures, readings and videos discussed during this semester.

Personal frames written by journalists in the 1992 campaign were analyzed by John Devit and supported the claim that the coverage of female candidates was biased. The sources in his analysis were more likely to use personal frames in describing female candidates than in describing male candidates (Appendix 1).

While Secretary Clinton is the current frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic nomination, she still faces backlash. With every statement she says and every pantsuit she wears, Clinton is subjected to harsh scrutiny. Fighting words with words, Mrs. Clinton offers this scathing rebuttal

Men and women could produce the same amount of work, but because the male is raised to a higher standard; the women’s work would be considered secondary. Despite the fact that men and women are as equal as they have ever been, this leads to the questions being asked: Why don’t women hold more than 15 percent of Fortune 500 executive-officer positions in the United States? Why do the average women still make seventy –seven pennies for every dollar made by the average male? Why does their representation rate remain below 20 percent in Congress? (Dorment) The difference is not in men and women; it is in masculine vs. feminine ways of thinking and acting. Both men and women incorporate masculine and feminine approaches.

She accomplishes this through the use of facts, and emotional connotations of various credible interviewers to relay the message that women can do something to achieve leadership in America, as well as change today’s statistics when it comes to positions of power. Since the year 1979, women have not made gains in Congress (Newsom). In today’s world, the media is the message as well as the messenger and it’s not too late for women to do something about it. Even though boys are growing up with the phenomenon that it is a necessity to be misogynist stereotypes, Newsom, effectively convinces her audience that these kids are conforming to hyper-masculinity, and leading women to be controlled and looked down upon by men. She presents such a powerful message by successfully demonstrating how media perceive women without supremacy through the use of pathos, ethos, and

The 2016 United States presidential election was both a historic and unprecedented election in the country’s history. This past election saw our first female presidential candidate nominated by a major political party and almost the first female president, Hillary Rodham Clinton. This is a momentous feature, coming nearly 100 years after the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote in the United States in 1920. As can be illustrated from these two points in history, women’s rights have come a long way, however, there is a great deal of progress that still needs to be made. Misogyny and sexism are still prevalent today, especially in the realm of politics. As a result, Clinton was met with many acts of the sort in this past election

Gail Collins, in her article “Sexism: Let’s Deconstruct Donald” (09.09.2016) suggests that Donald Trump’s attacks on Hillary Clinton could be sexist, and argues that we should “not jump to conclusions” even though Trump “makes insulting personal remarks about everyone he disagrees with”. Collins supports her claim by listing points that Trump had attacked Clinton on over this election cycle, such as Clinton’s voice, “Trump is basically saying that only guys get to holler”, Clinton’s health, “a staple of presidential politics long before we had a women in the race”, and how she does not “look” presidential. The author’s purpose is to suggest that Donald Trump’s critiques on Hillary Clinton are fueled by sexism,instead of his usual “personal

For my research question I will be asking: “How is America making progress on gender equity?” Fundamentally, I believe that women are still misrepresented, and are still facing many challenges in the workplace, especially in the business world. The gender stereotypes play a considerable role in the way the society sees women as leaders. However, it will be judicious to consider the small but noticeable changes that have been made over the past years concerning gender equality in the American workplace.

Women must take on somewhat of an androgynous sex-role identity. They must not go about their career fitting the typical gender stereotypes. They must be capable of responding with either a masculine or feminine behavior depending on the situation they are placed in. If women are capable of doing this they have a chance at appearing to be a competent campaigner (Robson, 2000).

Gender and leadership? Leadership and gender? A journey through the landscape of theories start off by giving a statistical summary of percentages of women in higher echelon position in the workforce. With this information in the intro, the article quickly highlights the limited representation of women in exclusive positions in Fortune 500 companies. Next, the paper examines multiple theories why this problem exists in the workforce. The four theories examined are biology and sex; gender role; causal factors; and attitudinal drivers (Appelbaum et al, 2003, p. 44).
