Girl group

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…

humid morning but the place did not open until 12:00 and I got there a little early. While waiting I have realized the girls were coming in groups of mini vans, they seemed to be very excited. While fidgeting with my car’s steering wheel, I realized the girls and their chaperones were lining up and It was my time to get out of the humid car. I greeted the coordinators of the Girl Scouts troop and the people running the animal rescue place. We lined up to take pictures, so they could most likely…

The Spice Girls were an iconic girl band that held major influence over fashion choices for young girls in the 90’s. The five “Spices” each embodied a unique symbolic attitude that clearly encouraged an individual diversity of style (Fuller, 2013). In a sense they offered the freedom to choose from a series of personalities that embodied the style of femininity. The girls were trendsetters with their unique sense of style, still inspiring us today. The prominent idea for the five girls style…

Stupid Mesume, if you would have stayed out of trouble the school would have never called him. But,could you manage that no you had to get involved when the Yakuza started to try and strong arm the girls… you thought you were done with the Sukeban but noo, you get sucked right back in.The light blue haired girl mentally berates herself. Listening to the speakers, she heads to the terminal for boarding. Taking her seat in first-class thinking…

are either seen as less masculine or feminine. These gender roles are taught a young age by teaching boys and girls to act and feel a certain way. We are often not aware of the many ways we are being socialized to certain gender roles. I visited a Walmart toy section to observe the different types of toys, their packaging, and colors to see the differences between the toys for boys and girls. In doing this I saw how much toys are used to socialize children to those certain gender roles. The toys…

I am currently in a group for Children’s media and the academic journal that I found was on the Sexualization of girls. This journal went over how sexualization is related to objectification because a lot of times men in society will see females as objects for them to rule over. “women and girls are both sexualized, via their tight clothing and makeup, and objectified, portrayed as existing for men 's pleasure and lacking in their own agency. There is not a parallel trend in which boys are often…

sports. Girls are never supposed to be the hero of the story, they are supposed to be the ones being rescued. It is hard enough for teenage girls who are going through puberty, but even harder when they are exposed to certain biases throughout the media. In an ad by Always, they ask a group of average male and female teenagers to run like a girl, fight like a girl, and throw like a girl. The teens demonstrated that they viewed girls as being weak and irrational. Then, they asked a different…

The Perfect Girl The definition of perfect is “Being entirely without fault or deflect.” Being “perfect” is something that 27% of girls feel pressured to be. From an early age girls are told that they are only good for a few things. Cooking, cleaning, and being looked at. Because of one of those expectations, 70% of middle school aged (11-15) girls are dissatisfied with their bodies, according to an eye opening article from NYC.gov. This dissatisfaction typically begins at the age of…

Trouble Girls: The Rolling Stone Book of Women in Rock, I found her view in music to be more complicated than just simply sexist. Underneath the sexist disposition there was a window into the life of the idols and empowerment in whatever way the females could get it. For example, the Shangri-Las expressed a more rebellious side of females that was oppressed. They may not have written their music, but they knew what really resonated with most young girls. Gaines explained them as, “…the…
