I ususally don’t pay attnetion the sexiusm since I don’t want get any troubles myself even though I want to revenge for insulting me in the bottom of my heart. However, I am proud of myself since I am a girl.
Those teenager girls in the video “Like a girl” seem to insult and make fun of girls themselves when they act. To be honest, If I am asked to imitate a girl, problably I will do same as teenagers as well, and I also did. The word “ Be like a girl” gave me a pressure on my childhood. As a kid, I had played baseball in a team for six years, so ovbiously, my hair and cloths intedned to boys’ since they were mobilable for me. My parents didn’t say anything about me since they wanted me to do anything what I tried. Contrary, only my

    For my commercial analysis, I chose a very popular Always ad that aired during the 2015 Superbowl. In brief, the ad is assessing the concept of puberty on girls. The video demonstrates a variety of girls-and a few boys- with different age ranges being told to perform certain actions that reveal their definition or idea of doing something “like a girl”. To start off, this commercial is supportive of women and women 's rights. It also promotes both confidence and self-esteem.…

    The earliest I can remember learning that my gender was different and treated differently from someone else’s was probably when I was five or six years old. I always had to wear a dress or an outfit that was always pink. I had to play with dolls and only do things that little girls would normally do and I of course noticed that boys didn’t have to do anything similar to me so I realized that I was being treated differently simply because I was a girl.…

    While this section may seem laughable, it initiates the audience to subconsciously think about the stereotypes society has in place and how they’ve begun to be considered a “joke” or “normal”. The video begins with a question, “What does it mean to do something “Like a girl”?” (“#Likeagirl”). Following the posed question, the audience is shown a series of people, beginning with a young adult female, that are asked to perform an action, such as running, fighting, etc., “Like a girl”. All of them, without fail, perform the tasks in ways that appear weak, amusing, flippant, silly, laughable, and so many other words that are associated with stereotypes of the female gender.…

    In their study, they found that in both 2001 and 2011, there was a “profound gender gap in interest in seeking elective office. Women of all professions, political parties, ages, and income levels are less likely than their male counterparts to express interest in running for office” (16). Why is that when women perform the same task as men, they do work just as fine as men? Figure 5a lists some obstacles women face, such as being held to a higher standard than men or that women are not tough enough to handle politics (“Obstacles to Female Leadership”). In order to close the gender gap and increase women’s representation in politics society must continue to raise awareness about the…

    I know I am a workaholic and I am trying to get away from this I am learning to delegate and put my foot down, especially saying “No”. I know I have always felt satisfied when I kept doing more and endlessly tiring myself. I know I have been encouraged by my own self to be me, to be straight with people and with my own self; my own wants and feelings rather than crooked and covert. In this manner I am learning to understand what I want and possibly how to get it.…

    When I think about the boy who I was growing up, the young adult I am today, and the man I plan to be in the forthcoming years, one aspect of my life stands out to me far more radiantly than anything else: my culture, my skin, my identity as a Bangladeshi-American. There aren't many clubs or organization for Bangladeshi Americans such as myself. Make no mistake, there are certainly events for Bangladeshis living in the United states, many that I have attended due to various entreaties from my parents. These are event where the only language spoken is one that I barely speak (Bengali), the only music conversed about is that which I don't listen to or understand, and the only events discussed happen in another country that I have spent only a…

    Analysis Of Like A Girl

    Whether intentionally or not, especially as a male, we all have used the term “like a girl” without a shadow of concern about the ramifications of such words. Our obnoxious preface that girls may be inferior, as evident by the phrase, has sadly been apparent since youth and changes the schema in which both genders view the world at hand. The people over at Always have created a campaign centered on the rhetoric of counter-thinking societal clichéd views. Growing up as male within a predominately female family (both immediate and extended) allowed me to see the fault in this line of thinking. Seeing athletic, intellectual or artistic abilities being dependent on the person rather than their gender for which my family proves time after time.…

    When we were announced to break into two groups, those that feel privileged and those that feel non-privileged. In those few seconds, I knew we were going to be split up into girls and boys, however, I felt more accustomed to going with the guys then the girls, yet I stayed. It felt weird to say we were the oppressed group because we are women, yet I never felt that until I got into college. I never had to think about being a woman, only at times did I ask myself why was I born a woman. I think I felt weird due to being the oldest in my family, my family consists of my parents, my younger sisters and I.…

    Women politician can voice out the women’s perspective on certain new law made by the government whether it infringes the rights of the women or not. Women politicians also pressure the government to set up more facilities for the women in government budget. These show that women are no longer silence and acting no important roles to the society. By protecting women rights, government will also take the women politician’s suggestions into considerations and provide them with better facilities if it is approved. For example, the women-only coach in Malaysia’s train provides women with better safety transportation.…
