What do we learn through the media images we see each day about what it means to be “male” and “female”?

What will be an ideal response?


Among the media’s messages are that violence against women is commonplace; that men are hard, tough, and independent; and that minorities and women are less visible than men. Women, for example, have been underrepresented in film (especially aging women), which features fewer female than male protagonists and female characters who were younger than the male characters. Women also have been less likely than men to be portrayed as leaders and more likely to be identified by their marital status. Other media messages are that African American males are either athletes or unlawful, that Asian males are awkward, and that Muslim men are terrorists.
