Pin-up girl

studying at a friends house and when it started to become dark, the girls were constantly checking their phones because we all had curfews and were expected to be home at a certain time. In the other hand, the guys seemed to not worry about time since their parents were less worried about them and let them stay out late at night. I understand that it is dangerous for young teenagers to be out late but why is it that even though a boy and a girl are both young they are treated way differently.…

A common trend between the messages was also observed. Many of the girls’ cards used words such as “perfect”, “pretty”, and “cute”. They also contained a lot of play on words including substituting “fairy for the word “very” or “purr-fect” instead of “perfect”. These trends with the messages on girls’ cards correlated with stereotypical conceptions that girls are supposed to be fragile and sweet, but smarter than boys, which is why a lot of the cards contain a…

her. In return, she becomes apathetic towards him. The man is selfish, and he does not consider the lady’s feelings. The man thinks he can treat her anyhow he chooses because he is a male and she is nothing but a female. Also, the story “Boys and girls”…

Growing up in Melrose Park or Lee in Philadelphia can be difficult for the female youth population, especially considering the areas are underprivileged and make up the minority. Deeply rooted into many neighborhoods are certain ‘codes’ that exist which are structures of belief to the people who reside there. The ‘codes’ are considered symbolic to low income neighborhoods, and in some ways promote violence. Young women living in these areas tend to become more violent in comparison to other…

and a vulture cast its shadow on the broken girl as it flew overhead. Minutes passed; the lights inside Farside turned off. The coil tightened. Seconds more and Michael finally approached the gasping child, breath leaving him as he gazed down at the girl’s face. Not a single inch of skin had been spared, flesh spotting black, blue, and yellow. Both eyes were swollen shut, the girl’s lip torn and stained with still flowing blood. Her arm had been twisted up and back, bone threatening to scratch…

women losing their jobs over the men. The process of hiring females in sport leadership positions is constantly evolving, and the most important part out of the whole process is where/how far the program is taken after being hired. Female athletes made up nearly half of the New Zealand team for the London Olympics, the same is not said for the coaches or management roles. During her research, Sarah…

I remember the day my eight-year old sister came to me asking me how much a girl her age should weigh. At the time, I was only nine and thought her question was odd, but went along with my day. The next few months my sister began dieting and exercising and continued to reach and reset her weight goal. It quickly spiraled out of control and within weeks was diagnosed with anorexia and hospitalized. Looking back, it still astonishes me that someone that young could feel the need to lose weight…

little boy wants to be a princess for Halloween, and then a little girl wants to be Spiderman. Onlookers speak up but tend to side with the mom who does not want her son to be a princess or "Bell" for Halloween. The little girl who wants to wear the Spiderman costume her mother is also supported by some of the onlookers. The mom tells the boy he needs to find a boy costume and several onlooking children tell him that 's for little girls. The mothers in this clip have obvious issues with…

Car’s are Superior to Women? In today’s society there are two main ways car companies typically try to sell cars, sex appeal and safe appeal. In ads produced by Hyundai and Rolls Royce they both try to sell viewers on a newer, nicer car, however their sales tactics are different. The advertisement by Hyundai sells the car by showing its safety features, while Rolls Royce sells the car by conveying a fantasy their product is linked to. In the end however both use women in their ads. Hyundai uses…

One factor, however, that demands more substantial time to remedy is the deficiency of adequate mentorship for females pursuing engineer careers. According to Theresa Barger, a writer for The New York Times, “[H]aving a mentor who faced similar discrimination and figured out a way to be taken seriously makes all the difference” (Barger). While an effective mentor can be of either gender, an experienced female engineer is more likely than an experienced male engineer to experience struggles…
