In this clip, we can see that the father can't "take a sick day" because he has to still be a dad to his young child. This role of being a father is causing this man to be unable to take a day for himself; however, this reflects the changing expectation of fathers to be just as involved as childcare as the mother in the modern era. ]]> 2023-02-23 14:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2492679124 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2493062225 Recently I have been playing through the God of War games. When playing the games you can notice a progression throughout the games on how female characters are treated. GOW and GOW two both came out in the early 2000s. These games rely on Kratos treating women to a higher standerd as he seems that as lesser then the men in the story. The only girl character he looks up to or considers as more is Athena. In the modern God of War games god of war 2018 and god of war ragnarok (2022), you see a more modern look on male and female equality. Kratos had a wife who he treated as equal and he treats all other female characters as equals. His character in the original games represents a view on women of that time compared to the newer games where he as a character represents modern feminism]]> 2023-02-23 19:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2493062225 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2493288338 In this show, the opposed gender roles strongly affect the characters within the plot. When observing Jerry Seinfeld's life, one can notice that he has little problems arise. He has a stable, well paying job and no concern for how others think about him. Elaine, however, showcases a very harsh life and the difficulties of being a women in an unstable workforce, along with needing to show concern for other's opinions about her. Their lives differ due to their opposing genders and the higher position that men typically hold in the modern workforce. ]]> 2023-02-24 00:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2493288338 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2493333629 In this movie, we can see that the female characters don't have equal rights.

Behind the scenes, Joe is secretly a self-absorbed, obsessive narcissist. Throughout the series, Joe makes an old ex "disappear," kills a disapproving friend of his girlfriend, and frames his therapist. Joe's controlling and obsessive tendencies towards his girlfriend reflect outdated gender roles, in which a man is "greater than" a woman. In later seasons, Joe marries Love Quinn. Behind the guise of new parenthood, Joe and Love commit murders whilst also equally bearing the weight of having a newborn child. Joe's progression from obsessive boyfriend to dutiful (yet murderous) father reflects an overall societal shift in feminist ideology over time. ]]> 2023-02-24 04:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2493430667 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2494139716 The advertisement is targeted towards female workers, as over time more gender equality is becoming more prevalent in the workforce.

This is because of the pink tax. There is not a huge reason for pink tax. These products can be found exact same, other than them being "pink" meaning girlified . An example of this, was an advertisement I saw this weekend on razors. This advertisement showed that women's razors are 25% more than men's. Every year women pay up to $1,351 more on the same products. This shows how something so small such as the color of a product, makes a difference when it comes to the buyers, being women or a man. Pink tax is seen everyday on advertisements for women's products, and for what, the color of the product?]]> 2023-02-24 18:52:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2494259013 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2494291294 The TV show Glee inspects the aspects of a diverse group of teenage students in their high school's glee club. In the show's Super Bowl special, "The Sue Sylvester Bowl Shuffle," the newest football coach, Coach Beiste, mandated that the football team would perform a halftime number with the show choir at the championship game, to build a new team and stop the violence between cliques. One of the popular football players quits the team and convinces most of the other teammates to do the same, due to the fear of being called names for participating in "feminine" activities. This is a difficulty that many people face today of either being too masculine or feminine for what people deem normal. Although this was a problem, in the episode, after realizing that it does not matter what others think and that different activities are for all people, the football team members rejoin the team to be a part of the halftime performance with their new throng. ]]> 2023-02-24 19:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2494291294 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2494777459 In this commercial Jack, the food chain's mascot, relates to liking stereotypical fatherly things such as football and hamburgers. This is meant to appeal to the company's target audience: men. Having Jack relate to this audience makes people feel more related to the character; therefore, more prone to buy the food.

She goes through a very dangerous journey but the result of her actions is her town being saved. Nobody in her town believed that she could actually make it back alive and part of that probably being that she was a girl.

Merida is expected by her parents and her people to find a suitor and get married when she comes of age. However, this is the last thing Merida wishes to do with her life. Merida cherishes her freedom to do what she wishes whenever she wishes. She doesn't want to lose that by finding a husband. She wants to be her own person and not be told what she can and can't do. Merida makes a big mistake during the movie when she curses her mother and it's up to her to fix it before the curse becomes permanent. Merida figured out what she had to do on her own and defeated the evil that came with the curse. She not only defied her "planned out" life, but she also defied the stereotype that women can't do everything a man can do. ]]> 2023-02-25 18:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2494907963 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2494916335 In this Ad, the Royal Air Force is trying to encourage women to join the military.

Men in this show tend to have more important jobs than women. Michael Scott is the first manager to run the branch. He is followed by Jim, Andy, and Dwight. Women in the show are never in this important of a position, like Pam who is the secretary. Even women characters like Jan, who was the boss of Michael, ended up getting fired.

When he is first diagnosed he struggles with telling his family. He quits his part time job at a car wash by lashing out at his boss, I think this shows how the patriarchy has made men afraid of being venerable and has made emotions other than aggression or anger be seen as weak.  Later in the show, he becomes increasingly withdrawn from his family, near the end of the show he even kills his brother in law. I think this goes to show how men have been conditioned to feel as they must be the breadwinners for their families. In straight relationships, this may cause women to have the most responsibility over raising the child(ren), resulting in a poor family dynamic. ]]> 2023-02-26 16:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495359954 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495395627 In the game Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) you play as Arthur Morgan an outlaw traveling with his posse of other outlaws and their families.

The statistics get even more significant when just video game's main character's genders are being compared. In video games the main character is a male 79.2% of the time.

That 70's show is a hit comedy that has very interesting gender roles. Towards the end of the first season Red Foreman, the father of the main character Eric Foreman, has his hours cut back at the plant that he works at. He was the key bread winner for the family. Red's wife and Eric's mother, Kitty Foreman, for most of the show switches between a full and part time nurse. Throughout the show, we are shown the trials and tribulations of Eric growing up as a teenager in the 70's. Some episodes and story lines are influenced by the the money issues the Foreman's are troubled with. Eventually in later seasons, the plant closes and Red loses his job. He then bounces around to different jobs as Kitty picks up more and more hours at the hospital for them to stay afloat and live semi comfortably. This in turn shows the more power given to women throughout the 70's and how the work force today has become more and more balanced. ]]> 2023-02-26 19:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495451901 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495500658 As the picture displays, one of Harley Quinn's earliest outfits covered lots of skin, but as the character evolved through the years, the character was seen with less and less clothes.

It is seldom that one may find a female leprechaun in any form of media in the past century. There are also tales from Irish folklore claiming that female leprechauns do not exist.

The fact that it took 94 years for a profession to include a single female seems unjust. Traditionally, males are viewed to enjoy professional sports over women and therefore may conclude women are not interested in such a profession or they are unable to perform such a task. Sarah Thomas was the first female referee in the NFL. Media responded in mixed ways to Thompson. Feminist critics may ask "Why would a both male and female profession receive both positive and negative feedback?"

In the 1940's women were seen as weak and lesser than men. So, having a woman you can look up to that's strong, independent, and free was probably a game changer for younger women.

Clarice is often contrasted with the male characters in the film, reinforcing traditional gender roles and expectations. Clarice is portrayed as emotional and vulnerable, whereas the male characters are portrayed as strong and unemotional. Additionally, the film reinforces the idea that women are primarily responsible for their own safety, as Clarice is warned by multiple male characters about the dangers of her job and told to tread carefully. However, Clarice's determination to succeed in a male-dominated profession challenges these gender norms and offers a positive representation of a strong and capable female character. She is able to use her intelligence and intuition to solve the case and ultimately outsmart the male villains. Clarice's character arc challenges gender stereotypes by proving that a woman can be just as competent and successful as her male colleagues.

In 2020 all women were paid 83% of what women were paid so every 83 cents earned was a dollar to a man. women of color were paid even less, equaling out to about 64% of what men are paid and Hispanic women were paid 54% of what men were paid. And the difference cannot be completely explained, education, work ethic, and work hours don't really contribute to the pay difference statistically. ]]> 2023-02-27 02:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495676852 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495687961 In lots of cleaning product commercials, women are often seen using the products.  This stems back to the stereotypical view of women in a household.  Women are seen to clean the house and take care of the children while men go off to work.  It's uncommon to see a man doing the laundry or using a cleaning product whenever companies are advertising them.

However, there has rarely been an instance that Peach had to save Mario. Obviously, this is due to very prevalent gender stereotypes. Men are often seen as stronger and more courageous than women, and women are seen as more susceptible and in need of assistance from men. In the real world, this isn't the case, but throughout the video game universe, many developers use this ideology to create masculine heroes who are tasked with saving a feminine hostage. ]]> 2023-02-27 02:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495703770 talenturiano62 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495716239 In American society there are jobs, that stereotypically are known as "Women Jobs". According to the DOL (Department of Labor) the top three jobs that are known as "Women Jobs" are Nurses, Elementary and Middle School Teachers, and Secretaries. This is not to say that there are not men that also have these types of jobs, but most of the employees of these jobs are women. You might wonder why this is, and that is hard to answer. As I see it, from Bible times to now women have had the reputation of caring for people as one of their main jobs in life. I believe this idea has just stuck with American society. Another reason that I believe this is because the stereotype for men is we tend to be gruff, hard working, and know to have jobs that involve manual labor. Now this is not to say all men are like this, I know many men that have a heart of hospitality, and care for people. Women have the stereotype of being kind, caring, and a heart of servanthood. Same as the guy, not all women are like this I am just going by stereotypes. To conclude the main reason for the title of "Women Jobs" is due to stereotypes. ]]> 2023-02-27 02:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495716239 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495718468 This show demonstrates gender stereotypes by showing how moms are the only parental figure to show up to practices and competitions.

It's an elite Navy Seals position she earned but she also earned it over many men. It wasn't seen for a woman to be in the military let alone chosen for an elite position over the rest of the men because the military is tough. It is war and seen as a man's job.

Throughout the series, women are seen as prizes to be won, and often showcased this way as well. The show itself dates back to times when women were dressed up and taken to balls to acquire suitors, and then handed off to be married and bear children. The women in the series, particularly mothers, are seen keeping and running the house as primary caregivers, while the men work and keep affairs in order regarding their estates. When women in the show act in any way that is not "traditional" they are seen as strange and often rumors are spread through the town to try and ruin the family's name. This sheds light on the lack of freedom and expression that women had. "Bridgerton" portrays blatant sexist views during regal times, and how the roles of women were attempting to evolve and how they have. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495735357 charliekephart26 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495749250 The main character of the Twilight saga, Bella Swan, is often described as fragile and in need of male protection. Bella relies on her love interests, Jacob and Edward, to fight her battles for her. In the first book/movie, Bella cooks, cleans, and does housework constantly for her father. The author of the books, Stephanie Meyer, placed Bella under an old, outdated stereotype; women are meant to cook and clean for the men in their lives. Besides her stereotypical hobbies, her final decision to become a vampire with Edward is a surrender of a woman in love. Edward and Bella are not equal in their relationship. Once she becomes a vampire, she loses her bonds with her family and friends. Bella is depicted as an anti-feminist throughout the whole series and does not challenge gender roles, but instead gladly accepts them and does not wish to be independent. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495749250 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495753424 Since the 90s, Fans and even wrestling promoters never took women wrestling as seriously as they did with men wrestling. The most popular company WWE had booked women is wrestling roles to only have 2 minute matches with no story compared to the men having 20-30 minute dramatic matches. Because they were never put into serious matches or stories, fans never took them seriously. Leading to fans treating their matches as a time to get up from their seats and take a break in the show and use the bathroom or buy merchandise. The women were not even called "wrestlers" in the company, instead they were called "divas", separating them from the wrestlers. In the past decade, women have been put in more serious and prominent roles. But because of their treatment prior it has been a hard battle to try and win fans over and make them interested. Women in wrestling have more supporters than they did in the 90s up to 2016. ]]> 2023-02-27 03:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495753424 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495771246 (Lavendia Guo)
In the movie Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet is depicted as a bold, intelligent, and independent young woman capable of taking care of herself. Although society calls that young women should marry husbands with wealth and status rather than love, Elizabeth, on the other hand, wishes to marry for love than marrying for financial stability and security and even declines the marriage proposal of Mr. Darcy, a rich man from a wealthy family. Elizabeth defies traditional gender norms by helping to shape Mr. Darcy's moral character and set aside his pride in his high society to win her affection. ]]> 2023-02-27 04:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495771246 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2495827277 When the brand Always started their #LikeAGirl campaign in 2014 they challenged everyone's thoughts of what the words "Like a girl" actually meant.

For every dollar a man earns, a woman only earns 83 cents. Society does not provide the same opportunities for men and women, simply due to gender. The gender pay gap also takes into account race, as women of color earn often significantly less than both white men and women. The wage gap varies across the country, becoming more or less prominent depending on where you are. The wage gap causes women and their families, as well as the economy, to suffer. They have less money to support themselves and their families.

However, this representation is heavily sexualized for mostly a male audience. Take for an example Honkai Impact 3rd. This game's playable characters are only women. While at first this seems like a very positive thing, when you play the game you begin to notice how fetishized and sexualized the women are, even if they're minors. This sexualization can drive away people who identify as apart of the female side of the spectrum. And in some cases men will believe all women should be like this, which is very stereotypical and offensive to those identifying as a woman. However, in more recent games, less of this sexualized behavior is noticeable and women are still included in games. ]]> 2023-02-28 00:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2497198327 https://padlet.com/rdeery1/8tyyn81az5mi95gc/wish/2497210869 The film "Up" starts off with a montage of the protagonist Mr. Fredricksen and his wife Ellie growing up and getting married.

In literature, a damsel in distress is a stereotype commonly used to narrate innocent and young women that women are waiting for salvation. In Alice in Wonderland, Alice does not require a hero as she herself fills the role. In the beginning of the movie, Alice is expected to be an obedient housewife to a lord in which everyone expects her to marry. It’s clear Alice doesn’t hold the same priorities other women in her time do. While her peers pressure her into considering her future as a wife, Alice busies herself with daydreaming about the impossible, for which she is heavily criticized. We see Alice’s assertiveness and curiosity as specifically “un-Victorian” peculiarities. These peculiarities are what lead her towards her heroic adventure of slaying the Jabberwocky, which assisted her to discover her destiny and saved Wonderland. Regardless of what society thinks or deems is correct, Alice simply does what she wants. For instance, Alice does not put on stockings and a corset for her engagement party, she denies what the community calls ‘proper’. Slaying the Jabberwocky empowered Alice to choose her own path in life and have her mind set on taking over her father’s business, revolutionizing it with her seemingly ‘mad’ ideas.
