How is gender represented in the media?

How is gender represented in the media?

Gender is represented in a variety of ways. Over the years the way males and females have been presented to us through media has evolved in sync with our ever changing society. Women once seen as the housewife's and possessions of men who could not think for themselves, and men were the bread-winners who dominated.

We began by making a hierarchy of masculine and feminine people in the public eye. We found that the most feminine women were: - ditsy
                                                   - Blonde
                                                   - High maintenance
                                                  - pink
                                                  - dependant
                                                   - attractive
The least feminine women were: - independent
                                                    -masculine aesthetics e.g quite muscular
                                                    - dominance
                                                 

Here are some posters we made about this topic
