Stereotypes: Gender Differences Between Men And Women

Borbo states that even though both the males and the females are technically the same, there is still something very, very different. Borbo says “The men’s genitals in the Jockey ad are much more visible than the women’s. Actually, the women, by contemporary standards, are hardly undressed at all.” (Borbo, 110). Over the years seeing more of the women’s body became acceptable, so the ad views the men, who are also technically showing the same amount of skin, as being more nude than the women. But at the same time, it is the pants around the ankles that make both the men and the women seem bare. We see these bodies as to what we are used to seeing and there is a big difference between the two.
