Sexual stereotypes in the Media: Superman and the Bride
Defined the word message means something you can see and hear some media outlets are but not limited to newspapers, magazines, radio, records, films and television which directly or indirectly shows a sexual bias and often show men as the dominates sex. My impression of the film was that many perceptions of the Mondo male has not changed they are still considered the money provider and still are strong which is genetically proven with science I may add and are also superior to women (not true). I believe there is an option and we choose to be bought but we are or can be more self-reliant like the Chinese women that were portrayed in the films in this movies which I think is false because Chinese women are as suppressed but the idea of a Mulan is always wishful thinking and needed to teach these men a lesson. Listening to the message that blindly plagued the people in this film it was outstanding that a woman would say that a man was superior to a man and to them and they would prefer a man to do the job. This actually saddened me to hear that women where that valueless to fight for what they thought was right and didn’t they think they were better than that. Many women who were interview thought they were stupid. I’m guessing mothers back then didn’t instill in their daughters that they could be anybody if they put their mind to it. Any women who stood up for their self were considered a battle ax or a unruly stupid women like they were ruined or something because they have a brain or something. And women accepted this they understood their role as a beauty without the brain. One quote that really stood out to me was “Be a toy a man can enjoy” so offensive on so many levels. I just think about Barbie and how you could make her be anything you wanted her to be if you wanted to dress her like sailor Barbie that is who she was or if you wanted bikini party animal Barbie but her on a two piece bathing suits and you had yourself beach Barbie. Initially saying that they preferred the beautiful bodies with no brains, no brainer. How can we get away from the brain washing messages? I believe that the answer is that we cannot even the news is sexually bias in some instance. However I think this has changes dramatically because back in the day it was hard for a female anchor women to make it they had to dress with dignity and always carry themselves with poise and now today I have seen more female breast and revealing skirts on daytime news its ridicules knowingly they have turned themselves into sex symbols to sell a news channels. But then again you can’t blame them sex sells and the media knows how to sell sex plan and simple.
