Men and Women

"A call to men"

   Its about men being thought to be strong, courageous, tough, dominated, or have no emotion, no fear, exception of getting angry. Tony Porter had said that men are in charge and women are not and men lead and we follow. That men are superior and women are interior. Women have less value, are property of men and are sex objects. He said there's something called a men box where it tells us how we can define what it means to be a men . Tony said that it would put men down if someone tells a men that he's acting like a "women".  Towards the ending of the video he had said that he asked a nine year old boy, what would life be like if there such thing as a men box. The boy said "life would be free"  


"Killing Us Softly" (1979)

              Women are advertised everywhere and had a negative impact in women. These ads influence women, they tell women they either have to be skinny, sexy or revealing. Women feel guilty and ashamed when they fail to have the ideal look. It said failure is inedible because the ideal is based on absolute flawlessness. In advertisement there's no women that have lines, wrinkles, no scars, no pours and blemishes. It also said that if we are not beautiful, thin, rich or successful, it's because we are not trying hard enough. This thing of being so called "perfect" had lowered women's self-esteem and also influences how men feel about real women they are with. The media had turned women into objects not as humans or as sex objects. Women who are involved in the media either have a disorder, are forced to have sex, are pregnant. Media had influenced women that they need to be perfect.


Gender Socialization

The active learning of the socially acceptable attitudes, traits, and behavior that are seen by one's society as appropriate for males or females. Men and women have different social norms such as men have to be tough and women type sensitive.  People who see girls acting the complete opposite that girls should be acting they are call "tomboys" and boys who cry and are very emotional may be called "sissies" Media had influence everyone in some way .
