the population. For example, some advertisements have targeted men and women for decades, embedding the idea in their minds that women “love to be dominated.” Several brands of diverse products such Chase & Sanborn coffee depicted women being spanked by her partner during the 1950’s, Van Heusen clothing in the 1960’s portrayed women’s subjection, by skewed attitudes towards men and Max shoes during modern times diminished women by portraying a female model strapped to a man’s shoe. These are…

culture that is interpreting the image. In this essay, I will highlight the importance of the existence images of “tough women” that are available in popular culture, and discuss the effects that these types of images have on women’s position in society. Ultimately, I believe that the representations of “tough women” that are available in popular culture have not only empowered women to fight for gender equality, but it has also extended the characteristics of what it means to be a tough woman…

Media have played a big part in reinforcing negative stereotype towards women. It has presented an unrealistic picture of what a real woman should be, which have led to the majority of young women confused what their gender roles should be. Unlike the normal woman, a woman character in a movie has to be ignorant, helpless, always complaining, typical pink women, petite, superficial, into pampering themselves, with bodies that are thin and curvy, and their top priorities are boys.

Consequently, though earning a much lower pay at the time, women started getting access to job opportunities. The job landscape has continued to evolve over time and presently more women are enjoying almost similar employment…

Sixty one percent of men and more than half of the women fully or partially blamed the woman in case of rape. In matrilineal Khasi society, it is surprising to note that women still blame their female counterparts for being raped. Provocative clothing, especially Western clothing, was the main reason cited for blame. Yet many female participants were wearing the kind of clothes that many conservative Indians elsewhere in India would describe as provocative. This was a seeming contradiction. The…

(Muslim’s holy book). In fact, for almost four decades, men have been more powerful than women. “Power distance refers to the degree to which the culture believes that institutional and organizational power should be distributed unequally and the decisions of the power holders should be challenged or accepted” (p. 106).
