Based on the society you live in, you are socialized to behave in certain ways based on whether you're male or female. And as we've mentioned, media plays an enormous role in how we define what is socially acceptable for both genders. In this essay, choose one television show or movie and examine how gender is used in this text. How does this piece of media reinforce mainstream gender roles? How does it subvert them? If someone from a different culture watched this show or movie, what would they understand about gender and sex in the United States? Do you feel this show/movie is an accurate representation of gender?
