Representation of Males (Don’t forget about them!) Posted on September 23rd, 2014 by

Someone who is important to me believes that while it is so important to empower women and have discussions about things such as media representations, we must talk about the images and ideas presented by the media that show boys how they are supposed to behave. Take a look at this article and ensure that we are talking about all of our students, looking critically from all angles.

    This is a great topic as well. In cultural anthropology Ms. Jacobsen showed us a great video about developmental issues of both boys and girls, and the gender stereotypes they face. It demonstrates the different ways that culture rears specific behaviors/attributes in boys and girls, all created by Gender Stereotypes!

    This video is not as good, but it is still quite interesting.
