Gender Stereotypes
GENDER STEROTYPES.
What are gender stereotypes? They are "simplistic generalizations about the gender attributes, differences, and roles of individuals and/or groups. Stereotypes can be positive or negative, but they rarely communicate accurate information about others. When people automatically apply gender assumptions to others regardless of evidence to the contrary, they are perpetuating gender stereotyping. Many people recognize the dangers of gender stereotyping, yet continue to make these types of generalizations." You probably hear a gender stereotype on a daily basis but probably don't realize it because it's so common and casual now for people to just through everyone into a category and just assume they all are the same. Which is quite sad to me. You shouldn't be judged and characterized based on your gender. Just because one female or male does something everyone in their gender should be assumed does it to? NO. Some examples of gender stereotypes are "cooking and cleaning are a women's job" "woman can't drive or park for anything" "all men are pigs"… you get the point it's a group of people (usually either women or men) that are grouped into a title that's so bias! Ugh I get so mad even talking about it I hate stereotypes! THE IGNORANCE... I'm going to be watching 'The suite life of Zack and Cody' on Disney Channel to get a good grasp of how often gender stereotyping is incorporated into our everyday television shows but goes unnoticed. I watch this show often, but never with the intention of it being stereotypical in any way. So today as I think about it if the characters were stereotyped, they would all be bias to one another's gender. Girls would be the breadwinner's, caregivers, nurturers, smarter, stay at home mothers. Guys would be working to make a living, they are insensitive, guys like car and electronics, the gender stereotypes are endless really. They can be basically anything and everything depending on how they are perceived
