Gender Stereotypes, Men's Women,

I agree that many of us talked about how men and women are expected to live a certain way. I also agree that people are viewed negatively if they are trying to be themselves, but are not fitting society’s stereotype of how they should act. It is difficult to be told “to be yourself” and act as such when there are individuals who are going to ridicule you.

Through the media, American culture stigmatizes the way men and women act by portraying masculine men as only capable of being tough, unemotional, and protective; likewise, femininity envelopes nurturing, submissive, and unobtrusive characteristics. Though these stereotypes are different, the generalizations inflict the same social limitations towards men and women in personal freedom in employability and behavior. Modern American stereotypes stem from the beliefs of older generations, which define the socially acceptable standards of conduct of men and women. Despite recent movement towards more progressive beliefs in society, gender stereotypes remain stubbornly ingrained within the American culture.

Writing is an art that has been around for a long time. It has seen numerous disputes and changes over time. Numerous works have been published, some under names that aren’t even real. These names are called pseudonyms, or pen names. They have been around for many reasons, such as the fear of being discriminated against, to disassociate themselves from their name, or so that they can appeal to a target audience.

When you watch a Broadway performer, what do you see? A person singing and dancing on stage? In my eyes, it is more. It’s about feeling confident and knowing I control what happens when I step upon the stage. I am in control. I am not the only one who knows this though. As a performer, I am often accompanied by girls and boys who are younger than me. To date, there are two girls that I take a special interest in and have shown me their confident sides. Whether they are mice or party scene girls they don’t let me forget that it’s their time to shine. They are the inspiration for my platform. They have shown me how children can embrace their self-confidence through the Arts.

On August 26,1920, the 19th Amendment,which guaranteed women the right to vote, was formally adopted into the U.S. Constitution

“Feminism, Psychoanalysis, and the Study of Popular Culture” focuses mainly on the views of people and their opinions, it goes in depth when it discusses the group of female “Star Trek” fans who write a type of literature which is based of the characters from Star Trek and involves them in fictional stories. Constance Penley observes these groups of woman in order to understand their purpose for writing in such way.

Men and women are typically stereotyped and portrayed differently by the media. Mass media, such as advertising, usually portrays men and women with stereotypes, in which women and girls are likely to be placed in passive and submissive roles, while men and boys are depicted to be more challenging and fearless. Advertisements, including the beer commercials, monopolize men as the dominant figure. Although, some ads feature females on it, they are only portrayed as seducer to their opposite sex, and they are usually not shown drinking. In the ad of Colt 45, Billy Dee Williams said, “There are two rules to remember if you want to know why you should keep plenty of Colt 45…... You never know when friends might show. I don’t claim you can have

Studies show that females are more likely look for health information online, especially in areas such as beauty content (Natoshia et al cited in Bowen et al, 2011). On average in this study, 36.7% of respondents reported being most interested in beauty and weight loss, and 35.7% said they most often look for information about disease and treatment, with the fewest respondents citing way of life as their primary concern (Figure 15). When we split the data into gender groups, however, we see that nearly half of all female respondents rated beauty and weight loss information most highly, with information about diseases and treatments ranking much lower, a trend which is reversed in the male group which saw 61% of respondents choose disease and

This article that I found was very interesting to me because it concern a lot of information about my career I am pursuing.

What proposal can be done to alter the views of the multimedia towards it viewers? I propose a more direct step for one hiring a more diverse staff of these magazine corporations that models the actual face of America. Another would be to bring the relevance of the clearly unsaid problem in the fashion industry. Yes, it is an industry based off looks but I believe it poses a problem when the beauty is characterized as only one specific look. This is damaging in that to the public for instance young women who glorify the media and models themselves off what s seen as right they will lose self identity and will not recognize their own beauty. This leads to many alterations and is one of the reasons why plastic surgery and cosmetics is a booming industry .In 2011 alone America wasted 10.4 billion dollars on cosmetic surgery (Dicker).

Currently, at my school, they do not separate guys and girls in school. I agree that they should separate guys and girls in school. Do you think that they should separate guys and girls in school? I thick girls mature faster than guys do. I thick girls are faster thinkers than guys. I thick girls are smarter than guys.

Over the past few weeks I have made a conscious effort to pay close attention to and analyse the conversations I am involved in or I overhear on a daily basis. These observations both conform with and go against many of the points I was given regarding how males and females communicate. One of the most interesting times I observed this was a night I went to a party, where males and females mingled and talked amongst themselves, but also often divided themselves by gender. I have noticed girls are more discreet about what they say, they tend to whisper or gesture a lot more than males, they make use of inside jokes to make themselves feel more involved with their friends and they are less likely to shout or make a scene, even in a lighthearted manner. When talking in small groups, they tend to talk in lowered voices, as to not let anyone interrupt or overhear their conversations. They use provocative sentence starters such as: ‘I couldn’t believe that…’, ‘Sorry, I just find it funny how…’ or ‘Don’t you think it’s strange that…’. This also links to the fact that girls tend to discuss other people, personal relationships and feelings more than males tend to do. They speak in great detail about past conversations (‘And I was like…’ ‘Then she said…’). This is why they tend to be more discreet and secretive of their conversations, especially when amongst other females.

The author's premise is that men and women are able to do whatever they want in this country. Their premise allegedly justifies his reason for women and men not being treated differently in society due to gender. Besides the fact that the author's premise is extremely vague, it definitely does not warrant the conclusion. Just because both genders have the capability and governmental right to do what they want does not mean both genders do not receive different treatment. The premise ignores the fact that 19th amendment, involving the women's right to vote, had to be passed because the difference in treatment towards women and men. That is a major and historical difference in treatment due to gender in our society. Women's suffrage was able

The fight for gender equality is more prominent than it ever was, and feminism is on the rise. But it is the twenty first century now where women have more power than ever, so why is it that the battle for equality is still progressing? Because gender stereotypes create the expectation that women are responsible for the pleasure of men.

How women are perceived by others, and how women perceive themselves, impacts their leadership roles in the work place. Stereotypes and gender biases are themes women have been dealing with for centuries. How women are perceived by social medial and television have been influencing how they are treated by men, and how they view themselves when it comes to taking a leadership role in their organization. According to Omega Institute (2012), “The rapidly shifting landscape of new media and technology, including reality television and celebrity culture, continue to reinforce gender stereotypes” (p. 1). This leads to men still growing up viewing women as home makers versus bread winner. With more women entering leadership roles in the work place they lack the respect from men due to how these men have grown up to know the typical role of a man and woman. Men tend to feel belittled due to the gender stereotypes seen on television, and this leads to women struggling to succeed as a leader with the lack of support from their male counterparts. Lack of confidence with women in the workplace is also influenced and effected by how women are perceived in social media and television. According to Steele (2005), “Exposure to stereotypic commercials persuade women to avoid leadership roles” (p. 276). As young women grow up seeing the typical gender stereotypes they lack ambitions to break the mold and
