Legally Blonde : Fair-Blonde Stereotype

Everyone knows that blondes are dumb. They're always being silly and love having a good time. They don't take life too seriously and are always up for a laugh. They're never ambitious. But hey, at least they're always up for a party. Everyone knows they have more fun.

One good stereotype that shows up often is the narrow-minded blonde that only cares about fashion. The best example of this is Emma Ross, from Bunk'd. She dosen't understand many simple concepts, but is very knowledgeable in fashion. Next, we the Sharpettes. They only care about fashion, and therefore perfectly fit the stereotype. Lastly, we have Liv Rooney from Liv and Maddie. Maddie has an astute eye for fashion,but is very narrow-minded, and only cares about fashion. However, in one episode, they show her not as dimwitted, but as a robotics whiz, so she does have a knack for robots like her two brothers, but still has no care for robots.

Life as a redhead is tough when you don’t have a soul. It is extremely difficult living life without sympathy or the inability to be kind towards others. In my mind I feel like I want to do these things, but being a “ginger,” I just can’t. I want to feel bad for people with blonde, black, brown, or whatever other color of hair there is, but since I have red hair I just can’t. I want to feel bad for all those other hair colors who don’t like as stunning as we do, but I just can’t. Living without a soul is the hardest part of being a redhead, but everything else is gravy.

The Blonde Bimbo. Long or fluffy hair, revealing clothes. Sometimes dumb, not able to use machines, dependant on her man, not able to do anything, can't control her emotions over men. When I watched the TV to find some examples of stereotypes, the first thing I saw was a trailer for a documentary about David Bailey.

3) One of the films would be Erin Brockovich, were Erin is judge for being a single mom based on her appearance she is also label as a whore an example would be Ed that tells her that she looks like someone that likes to have fun, these is of course the stereotypes that society inputs on her. Erin in the film does not meet the ideologies of being femininity and at the end we see that she does succeed at work but her love life and family gets scarified by these.

Elle believes her perfect life is about to get even better when her boyfriend hints that there will be changes in their future and she assumes he's about to propose. However, she is shaken when her boyfriend breaks up with her to find a girl who will be a better fit for his political aspirations. Instead of wallowing in sorrow, Elle decides she can win him back if she can only show him her serious side by chasing after him to Harvard law. Her confidence is weakened however, as she encounters difficult professors and snobby students. Nevertheless, she persisted in her studies and because of this she is given an exclusive internship. This leads her to take on challenges she never imagined she could and demonstrates the knowledge she had all along.

“Being yourself never goes out of style.” The average person would think that some world changing person said this but nope. Elle Woods said this. Elle Woods as in “Woods comma Elle”, the main character in the movie Legally Blonde. Legally Blonde is my all-time favorite movie. Actually, every day I strive to Elle Woods. She is basically my role model in life. This may seem silly, but really behind all the pink, Elle Woods is actually a character that may people should take notes from. The Elle Woods, in the movie “Legally Blonde”, is so appealing to me because it she shows that women do not have to follow stereotypes and can do and be whatever they want; every woman should have the blonde ambition and independence that Elle Woods has.

What is a stereotype? In my definition it can be a term used to classify an object or thing, maybe even a person. A stereotype can be a person who has little knowledge of something or none at all. There are a lot of different stereotypes out there. For example, “White men can’t jump” is one used in sports such as basketball. This can be a stereotype to people who have never witnessed a white man dunk a basketball. Larry Bird was arguably one of the best basketball players in the history of the NBA with many awards and achievements to prove it. He was indeed a white man therefore, counterpointing the stereotypical phrase, “white men can't jump.” Just like this one, there are many stereotypes out there with a broad range of phrases or

For generations, Clueless is one of the greatest teen movies of all time. By showcasing these stereotypes can impact the judgement of the audiences. Gender stereotypes exist today. The producers purposely set out to make new trends for teenagers, even releasing a Clueless-inspired line of Barbie dolls, and these efforts were wildly successfully. But, at the same time, the film is a satire on the very people it was marketed to. Clueless portrayed several out of date and offensive gender stereotypes. The film represents women as materialistic; the movie also characterizes women can not drive. Furthermore, the movie stereotypes that men are in charge; they are always at the

Now you can already tell from the quick summary that stereotypes are presented in this movie but if you have watched this movie you know they stereotype; overweight people, jocks, emo’s, gays etc. In the movie karen is portrayed as the “dumb blonde” because she's always clueless. There was a scene towards the end of the movie where she was using her breast to tell the weather and says there is a “30% chance of rain” when it clearly is already raining. For a while girls were embarrassed of being blondes because of the image that was put on them. Blonde made them “stupid and

One of the fundamental themes in Legally Blonde is that a female having an ardor for fashion does not make her dim-witted and that fashion insight is not an immanently futile form of knowledge. Elle’s fashion knowledge is introduced when a retailer labels her as “a dumb blonde,” and tries to take advantage of her by ripping off the last season sale tag and selling it to her for full price. “Did you see this one? We just got it in yesterday.” the retailer told her. Slyly, she asks “Is this a low-viscosity rayon with half-loop top-stitching on the hem?.” “Why yes, it’s one of a kind,” the retailer replied. Elle uses her fashion knowledge and wittily replies “It's impossible to use a half-loop topstitch on low-viscosity rayon.

Amanda talks about how she was portrayed as a dumb blonde after the Mean Girls movie. Even though she is not unintelligent she was seen dumb because of her character in the Mean Girls movie. In her interview she states “ I feel like i’m just know getting the respect that I feel like I’ve been wanting for so long” (PS Interview). She played the role of the dumb blonde in the Mean Girls movie and in the TED 2 movie she played a role in which she fought for people and won her cases. Amanda Seyfried is a strong, independent women who wants to pursue a career in acting. The reality is that blondes are not unintelligent, they are just stereotyped as being that way because of all these stereotypes that exist about blonde girls. These stereotypes and misconceptions exist because humans have made stereotypes a natural process. In our society everyone has stopped interacting with others and judge someone based on what it said about them instead of taking the time to get to know the individual. Society has categorizing people and things into different groups according to their likeness or differences. Soad Louissi, states in her article “Why do Stereotypes exists, “But human nature and ethnocentrism (the view of things in which one’s own group is the center of everything) come into play, and starting to think of ourselves as somehow better than those who are different than us”. When the stereotype or misconception affect us

Do stereotypes stem from a harsh truth, or are they primarily used to degrade groups of people? Female stereotypes, specifically those of a sexist nature, have been prevalent since the beginning of time, and are glaringly present today. In the play Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller uses submissive qualities and sexual objectification pertaining to women to expose female stereotypes in society.

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary stereotype is a, “a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing”. Society puts out a certain set of standards and roles of men and women and the way in which they should act, known as gender roles. According to these behaviour stereotypes, the ideal man is intelligent, physically strong, heroic, in charge and is ultimately there to provide for his family. In comparison, the typical women is portrayed as beautiful, delicate, inferior to men and are viewed as the housekeeper; taking care of the children and putting food on the table while the men goes to work. These gender roles start to be enforced at a very young age as a result of society and the media. A prime example of this is Disney and the movies they create for young children. Almost all Disney movies are based

Dumb blonde, politicians are bad, women are weak, all men are unclean and untidy. These sayings are all stereotypes that are very common and referred to almost daily. People form judgments and place others into categories without a second thought because it’s become so prevalent in the modern world.

Fortunately there are ways to fight against and prevent stereotyping.
