Discussion In this essay‚ I have chosen to focus on the exotic dancing sector of sex work. My thesis argues that gendered stereotypes are primarily responsible for the stigmatization and power relations within sex work. However‚ in the exotic dancing industry‚ these stereotypes are utilized to promote success and maintain clientele and employment. Generally speaking‚ sex work as a form of employment is heavily stigmatized and therefore‚ the labour of women is delegitimized in comparison to

Stereotype. Stereotypical. Stereotyping. All are words I’m sure we all have heard. A question I have asked myself is “Why do stereotypes exist and more importantly‚ why do they matter?” A stereotype is an oversimplified image of a person‚ place‚ or object. George Takei‚ a Japanese actor‚ once said “If we allow ourselves to judge another based on a stereotype‚ we have allowed a generalization to replace our own thinking.” So why do we allow ourselves‚ as people‚ to judge one another based on a stereotype

In a Barbie World Since the beginning‚ boys and girls have been put into separate groups and as children they are very different‚ especially when it comes to the toys they play with. One of the first teachings of a child’s gender role can usually be found in their toy chest.

This graphic image taken from a video game is not uncommon. The low-cut clothing on the woman and the large overbearing man behind holding a knife to her depict a sad‚ but far too common representation of women within video game culture.

and trophies and not as actual intellectual beings. Coming into college‚ I was aware that women are not held to this standard anymore‚ but I was still worried that some people would continue to not take women seriously. Even as late as 2001‚ gender stereotypes persisted in film and in the media. In the movie Legally Blonde‚ starring Reese Witherspoon‚ Elle Woods gets dumped by her scholarly boyfriend because he wants a “serious relationship” with an educated and successful sorority president.
