Stereotypes Of Women

I agree with your opinion that women of this era are stronger and more independent. While the old stereotypes of women describe them with the trait of delicacy and dependence, women of this generation are smart and hard-working to achieve their goals. Actually, women have done very well in many fields, which is revealed in the website womensportreport.com. On the other hand, your statements, “Women athletics appear in these articles with radiant faces and happy smile. Although they don’t need to do make ups or wear fashion clothes, they look healthy and elegant with full of energy and confidence” manifest a very significant concept that women should not be judged by their appearance, nor should they gain acceptance by pleasing men’s desire,

Another reason why the narrator is look at as woman is because of way the short story is written. The short story is not a typical story that has a plot that has a beginning and ending, but more of diary. It is easy see a woman at home alone sitting at home by her phone writing and waiting for the phone to ring. Also women tend to like their minds get the best of them like the narrator does. The narrator mind is running a mile a minute and the narrator is trying to control the negative thoughts be the thoughts are getting the best of her.

“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”-Marilyn Monroe. For years women have been striving to be equal with men, but women have been paying for it. Out of all the companies in this world, less than ten percent of all CEOs are women. When a man and a women have the same job, women tend to be paid less, and around the world women have been grouped into stereotypes. So I strongly believe that women can do anything a man can do, and that was proven over the years. Now and days women are being stereotyped by the world around them, they are being paid less, and all bigger companies are run by males. If people looked harder at the world around them, they can change the way others look at women.

In today’s society, it is effortless to argue that women are too pressured to have a perfect body. Women have an idea that they have to fulfill a look to satisfy other people because of what appeals to the common eye. Women always lower their self-esteem because of the way models look in magazines, movies, television, etc. Beautiful celebrities like Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian, and Beyoncé are what the common eye admires. Celebrities tend to be slim, wear loads of makeup, and have ideal curves. Women look up to these celebrities and wish to be just like them.

On the left side, is what the stereotypes of being female. I chose pictures such as the white rose and the Sports Illustrated cover to show the contrast between the expectations of being pure and the expectation of being sexual. The image with the longer shows that women are expected to have long, processed hair. The pie, a soft blanket, a diamond ring, and mother holding her child represents the expectation to be maternal and having to want to be married. The high heels, perfume and Marilyn Monroe show that women are supposed to be glamourous, while the 1950’s advertisement shows we are also supposed to be practical. I chose such images as Taylor Swift, Sex in the City and romantic-comedies to show how our culture see women as romantic object,

In well-known fairy tales the males and females characters are often portrayed in the same light. The male characters are often described as the hero with strong masculine traits while the female characters are portrayed as the damsel in distress. Throughout the years fairytales have been casting the same stereotypes for their characters. In the story Beauty and the Beast the author de beaumont depiction of what an ideal woman is lays in Beauty. She is meant to embody the role of a feminine, humble caretaker, lover, and savior. The author depicts males as provider’s, however, it is clear that the men in the story are dependent on a positive female figure for life. Beauty’s disappearance threatens both her father and beast with death, symbolizing

1. Five stereotypes of women: • Women love to shop more than men. • Women tend to be more emotional than men. • Women tend to remember/recall things better than men. • Women tend to talk more than men.

“Before you start to judge me, step into my shoes and walk the life im living and if you get as far as I am, just maybe you will see how strong I am.” –author unknown. Moderator, Judges, my worthy opponents and invited guests, a pleasant Good morning to you all. My team along with I strongly disagree with the statement. Feminists are constantly complaining about how women are disadvantaged in first-world society, but what about men?

The advertisements seen in our daily lives portray female and male stereotypes. When we see ads we are able to immediately interpret if this would be suitable for a girl or a boy, based on color, style, purpose, etc. In other words, society has given us our traits, and its “influenced” us to believe that they’re true. A few very common traits known, are that girls are tied to pink and boys are wired for sports and video games. After all, it would be a little strange to see a boy dressed in a long red velvet gown with bright white stars.

Women are sometimes viewed as incapable of doing work that was done by men, such as jobs involving physical labor, become professional, and free thinkers. This stereotype continues to close women opportunities in our society. I believe that we should be visualized as multitasking. There are countries that women are seen better as raising children, stay at home, and be a house wife.

“Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it.” These are the famous words uttered by the one and only Diane Sawyer. For as long as we can remember men have been the dominate race, and women on the other hand have been deprived of their rights. Societies neglected women over the past centuries and fought with them over everything. Gender should not interfere in whether someone is capable of doing a job. Although many women have gained equality, there are some women that are treated differently every day from sexual harassment, to the workplace discrimination, or in the media.

In ancient society, women were caregivers. They were to marry at the age of 14, and care for their husband and children. Women were told to act a certain way, watch what they eat, never talk back to men, and be a lady. You would think that opinions would change and people of the modern society would look at women as equally as men. However, it is almost a nature of all living things to look to men for leadership and women for dinner and clean laundry. I think it’s unfair how gender specific stereotypes play such a massive part in our lives. Boys are always raised to be leaders and business owners, while girls are raised to be proper ladies; only for the purpose of marriage.

Since the dominant gender in Western societies are men, femininity is often belittled due to established social conditions, and thus presents another issue for those looking to identify as a woman. Femininity, defined by cultural expectations, describes a female who is emotional, cooperative, “feminine-nurturing, supportive and passive” (Lecture, week 12). Although not all of these stereotypes are bad, they are not definitive solely for females, but most males as well. Kimmel (2000:274) explains that the, “Masculine identity is born in the renunciation of the feminine, not in the direct affirmation of the masculine...” This promotes the idea that women continue to be placed lower on the social ladder underneath men because of how they posses

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
