Gender stereotypes in movies, tv shows, and other media

posted by buttercupthePPG

Have anda ever been offended oleh those stereotypes? Well, I get offended pretty easily oleh the gender stereotypes. Whenever I get offended I would complain and stop watching atau playing the game altogether. Nearly all film and tv shows and even the video games are made oleh sexist men who think that women are not as capable as women! Let's look at one example, the movie Gremlins. It may be funny, but can be sexist. I hate that movie. It portrays women as weak, cowardly, helpless, and over FUCKING dependent! And males as too overprotective and muscly and too fucking irresistable! Gosh, I hate when...

Am i anti-feminist?

posted by Kitbeast

Now i'm what I would like to call an average guy. I also like to think that I'm open minded and willing to hear any argument as long as that argument is backed up with cold hard facts.
Now as a guy i personally don't have any experience of any of the issues normally expressed oleh the feminist movement so my thoughts and opinions are always formed from detik hand atau third hand experience (reading articles, watching YouTube video etc.)
Now i'm sure some of anda are asking yourself why are anda asking this? Well the answer is as follows.

'Femi-nazi': four reasons why this term is ignorant, inaccurate and extremely harmful.

posted by pandawinx

'Feminazi' is the demonization of feminism via comparing the woman's rights movement to Adolf Hitler.

Needless to say, it is the most incompetent and insensitive terminology refering to:

A. The victims who suffered tremendously under Hitler's regime during WW2.
B. Feminism and how misunderstood it's many messages are today in modern society.

So even if anda aren't a feminist, atau maybe even not even pro-feminist (which i can assure anda are completely different things), anda most definately shouldn't tolerate this fad. Here are four, quick, clear reasons simply to start anda off. I could go on for...

Women Empowerment kutipan

posted by xXxDracoxXx

Here are some women empowerment kutipan that I like:

Women sleep on the right side of the tempat tidur because even while sleeping they have to be right! ~Author unknown

I'm an excellent housekeeper. Everytime I get a divorce, I keep the house. ~Zsa Zsa Gabor

In this world anda have to be stronger than a man, anda have to be a wo-man! ~AVPM

Anything men can do, women can do better, plus in heels.

Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less. ~Susan B. Anthony

History is herstory, too. ~Author unknown

I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they are the first to be rescued off of sinking ships.

Man has will, but woman has her way.

Women get the last word in every argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Women are scientifically proven to be right even when they are wrong.

In Defense of the "Tone Argument"

posted by Dragonclaws

I read a lot of stuff online talking about the “tone argument” and how it’s used to silence feminists. The gist of it is that a feminist is angry about something and delivers a criticism of it, and the opposition points to the way the feminist is angry as a means of shutting them down without ever acknowledging the criticism as valid atau that the person has a right to be angry. This is a problem, and I have seen it occur in threads, so the anti-tone-argument sentiment has a respectable basis. However, I believe the sentiment is often misused so that it ends up causing the same sort of...

Online Harassment of Women

posted by MaleficentJolie

Hello. It's my first time menulis an article. Well, have anda ever been bullied atau harassed oleh men online? Have they ever criticized anda for stating your opinion on the internet, whether it be on social media like Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, atau Youtube? And how does that make anda feel?

It happened to me many times. That aside, let's talk a little bit about it. I feel that it originated from the non-technological world, where assertive men were considered "driven," "motivated," etc. while assertive women were called "b*tchy," "rude," atau even worse--- "bratty" atau "immature," when in reality,...

If i have sex with someone I am a massive slut.
If he has sex with someone...He's awesome.

If i get raped i "deserve it" for dressing seductively.
If he gets raped he is a victim of assault.

If I do not want sex i am a uptight, harpy-bitch.
If he does not want sex he is simply doing his own thing.

If i ask for a raise I am being demanding and agressive.
If he asks for a raise he is being assertive and ambitious.

If i become a teen parent I am a stupid girl who got what was coming to her.

The late Kurt Cobain was surprisingly, an avid member of the feminist community. Here are some of his link to activism and his ties to the feminist agenda.

If generation X had a king it would be Kurt Cobain. His devil may care attitude arguably defined a generation of people. His haunting melodies and desperate screams spoke to youth disenchanted with societies’ expectations. He cared about a...

So Sick of It!

posted by buttercupthePPG

Look at all of the stereotypes that existed ever since the beginning of time! They're so toxic and so degrading!

Stereotype 1: Every woman needs a man (which is an issue in many high schools, even colleges and such).

Stereotype 2: All women need rescuing and constant protection.

Stereotype 3: A woman who stands up for herself is considered b*tchy, bossy, and unladylike.

Stereotype 4: A woman is supposed to be submissive and f*cking cowardly! (which is so common)

Stereotype 5: All women are less intellegent, lebih foolish, and can't learn anything.

Stereotype 6: Women are the weakest of the weak....

Along with her sister Noor Zia, Farida was committed to social change and economic emancipation for women from the platform of a welfare organisation called the Society for Appraisal and Women Empowerment in Rural Areas (SAWERA).

Dear Feminists, Will anda Also Be Marching In N***erwalk? Because I Won't.
by Keli Goff

(Published in The Huffington Post)

The only thing lebih irritating than people doing absolutely nothing to make the world a better place are those actively trying to make it worse, but coming in a strong third? Those whose well-meaning efforts to make the world better are so misguided that they make things worse oleh default.

I was reminded of this when I happened upon the SlutWalk protests taking place in New York this past weekend... with my mother. (If you're looking for something super memorable to do with...

Alice's Adventures In Wonderland; a Comorbid Dream

posted by TBUGoth

Alice in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is dreaming and there is no way for me as a reader to tell what physical abilities she may have while awake; could Alice have a physical disability? Could Alice’s dream be so vivid because she is also Autistic? As an Autistic reader with Cerebral Palsy, I think yes, in this paper I will interpret Alice as physically disabled and Autistic.
There are some passages that I find interesting as they seem to be confirming my theory. Thinking about getting into the garden requires a certain amount of steps, which can be a problem for autistic...

Of Ageist Feminists

posted by Dragonclaws

There’s a meme I’ve seen online where feminists say that the word “females” shouldn’t be used because of its dehumanizing connotations. The idea is that “female” relates to the sex of a biological organism, and when one is using that kind of terminology they tend to be discussing nonhuman binatang in a scientific fashion. So, when men talk about “females” when they mean “women”, it comes off as dehumanizing. While I agree to an extent, as I believe some men do use this to purposefully distance themselves from women, I also think this decree that female humans should be...

Portraying Feminism

posted by ivoryphills

Chauvinism and Masculinism, two of the biggest anti-feminism "movements" alive and rampant in this hari and age. Since the beginning of these movements, the Feminist image has been violated to the point that even hearing the word "Feminist" brings up some ugly descriptions in the human psyche: fat, unattractive, masculine women who can't find a decent husband that want to create misery for all like they feel oleh lying about what women really want (like bayi and husbands) and emasculating men, atau a big system of corporate tools brainwashed oleh powerful liberals to decimate the human race,
