Odd Man Out

commercial push for the continued growth of their son, however the mothers want their “little boy” back. I feel that they purposefully did this in attempts to get the fathers to believe that Old Spice can be the push that their sons need to become a man and grow up. There was a scene in which the father was destroying his son’s former toys, while the mother did everything to save them. In another scene which showed the son on a date, the mother was in the fish tank holding tightly to a toy that…

During the time of the Athenians back in the fifth century, stereotypes were prominent amongst men and women, specifically amongst time of war. Aristophanes’ Lysistrata is a comedic play during the Peloponnesian War that is ripe with these stereotypes, providing further insight into the timeliness of human sexuality, desire, and the war of the sexes. The traditional role of women and their appetites during this time period was humorous compared to the duties of men. Women enjoyed parties,…

Who doesn’t like a good movie? For many, it is the most joyous form of escapism. Viewers could break from their social and humanly limitations, and immerse themselves into the life and role of the star character; the hero or the heroine. One would find love, romance, innate super-powers, and finally, social acceptance (sometimes even reverence), all within the gratifying time frame of two hours. Like sex, their transferred-to-on-screen alter ego would build up to a climax, to at last explode…

subvert male and female stereotypes. Characters frequently reference and distinguish issues of gender. At first, Macbeth appears as a brave, strong, and loyal man that is able to lead and fight fiercely in battle.

Wollstonecraft calls on women to understand that terms like “elegance” and “refinement” , which women have come to pride themselves in, are actually synonymous with weakness and points out that women who seek to be respected are “hunted out of society as masculine" (pg. 23) .
