Gender Stereotypes

In some events, female broadcasters are well represented; ice skating and gymnastics, which receive more coverage than in years past, are two examples of this. Other events, such as football, rugby, basketball and hockey, have stayed more true to the stereotypical male broadcaster because they know more and prefer it more than females, though newer productions such as those broadcasting on the internet or via podcast, do not hold as tightly to this business

For this homework assignment, I chose an image that represented a very “typical” gender stereotype. I specifically picked this picture form Google images, because I wanted to demonstrate that even children at a young age are facing the same gender stenotypes that male and female face when they become older. This image portrays what a “typical” guy and girl should be like. According to society, a guy/male should be tough, strong, manly, more active, etc.… A girl/female should be girly, look pretty, be submissive, more responsible, etc.…

Children are often told by adults that they can be whatever they chose to be in life, however, that is not the case when gender roles and stereotypes are enforced and encouraged. Gender stereotypes are generalizations implicated to a specific gender based off certain aspects of that gender. Gender coding is also very common. Gender coding is setting aside something for only one gender, one of the most common examples of this is blue is for boys and pink is for girls.

There has not been a significant amount of studies done on the different sexes seeking help, nonetheless it is evidenced that women are most likely to seek and ask for help than men. The studies that have been conducted such as, cross-cultural studies, (Cohen, Guttmann, & Lazar, 1998; Moeller-Leimkuehler, 2002; Boldero & Fallon, 1995; Schonert-Reichl & Muller, 1996; Seiffge-Krenke & Shulman, 1990), empirical, observational studies, anthropological and ultimately research with adolescents have presented the same outcome of women asking for help sooner than men. Several different avenues of an individual’s life were used in the studies that were conducted such as one’s personal, medical and professional issues (Benesen & Koulnazarian, 2008).

Performing as a male does hinder me, but also helps me in many ways. As a male I feel like I have a duty to always be a gentleman to girls. It is not necessarily a bad attribute, but many sacrifices need to be made. I am always the one driving my friend – a girl - to places around the island and even paying for our meals. The male usually spends more money on the female. Also, since my mom is weaker than me, I would always go out with her and help her with groceries. It makes me use time that I could have used for some other activity. However, I am naturally stronger than girls, which is a blessing as it helps me in many areas of my life but also can have its own disadvantages. Since my forte is not talking with people, I am happy to be a busboy

For many years women have been looked down upon in the realm of employment. Times have changed drastically and now more women are being brought into more male dominated positions. Sports broadcasting is such a widespread popular profession. Both men and women are welcomed to apply for the position. Although women are welcomed for the same exact positions males are they do not have the authority to do the things that men do and they are looked at in a different light. They are oppressed into certain roles yet are still managed to be called “sport broadcasters”. One might not recognize the inaccurate perceptions that many sport networks are portraying of women however,I have come up with three hypotheses that will challenge you to think differently.

The film took on both stereotypes and tries to challenge males and females roles as well. Female character in the film aged from five to sixty years old. Strands that were used for females were, baby, doll, sweetie, governess, maid, and secretary. While men were named, sir, lad, captain, officer and boy. Both contrasting terms gave men the upper hand, because most of their terms included their jobs and position in the film. While, females were given cute names and nicknames like baby. Baby was used to describe a sixteen year old female by a young boy. Little girls in the film were even taught that being a lady must be practiced, such as, "That's the price of being a lady" (The Sound of Music). Girls are trained to curtsy and to stay away from

The following discussion will focus on the portrayal of males and females on television. In addition to what effect does exposure to these models have on children’s sex-role stereotypes? And how would the social learning theory recognized by theorist Albert Bandura who emphasizes people learn from one another through observation, imitation, and modeling explain these effects.

Everybody is born sexed, instead of gendered. Gender is a social construction which does not flow from the genitalia or any organs. A sex category can become a gender status through naming, dressing, and the use of any other gender markers. In other words, gender is cultural and social, while sex is biological.

A lady asked the following question via a social group media forum, ‘Men where are you? Why are so many women truly raising kids and taking care of homes alone?’ As a kid, my dad and brothers cut 3 yards every week-grandma’s, a single aunt’s and our own. Even if you are not a married man you have single aunts, sisters, cousins and neighbors. Why are you not doing for these women? Honestly men, they should not have to ask. Women where are your family, friends, church members? Are you turning down help?

The ideology, practices and culture result in double standard in two genders. There have been any attempts to establish the equal status of male and female. Nevertheless, when considering the shifting role between men and women serving as pretty would in-stabilize the patriarchal society that it might never be allowed to happen. This career cannot be perceived any differences due to female oppression. Even though there are quite few male who perform this career, they are being left out or not being considered negatively as female. By introducing this career to male employment could show controversial relationship places within social construction of gender. Male is generally matched together with car toys. Unfortunately, it seems difficult to alter this embedded ideology as it is patriarchal society.
