TabbyCool Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 DO NOT get me started.... Ooops, too late! Take the Ch 4 programme, Beauty and the Geek. This offends me more than almost anything on TV at the moment. The premise: beautiful women are pared with geeky guys, and they have to complete "challenges". The advert says something about how will the guys react to such stunning women, and then "will the girls learn anything?" Basically, then, it relies on the stereotype that intelligent people are all ugly losers and beautiful people are thick. And why is it not about ugly, clever women and hot, stupid men? That's not as entertaining, obviously. The world is going mad. How come we, as humans, are willing to be fed this rubbish. I consider myself intelligent - does that mean I am a "geek" and automatically unattractive? But, the problem is definitely compounded by young women who are praised, and who build their careers on, being uneducated and doing/saying ignorant things - Paris Hilton, Jade Goody, Chantelle from Celeb BB. What sort of example does this set? And we are we suddenly holding glamour models up as celebrities - Abi Titmuss? If I had a daughter, I would be worried (notable exception is Kelly Brook who I actually really admire, as he is clearly a smart young woman who is going places. And Jordan who is clearly a shrewd businesswoman who knows exactly how to explout the media). Even more though, it seems to be the norm for all female celebs to do nude shoots now, from soap stars to Keira Knightley, for God's sake. And yes, Keira's was more tasteful and less crude, but still completely gratuitous - why did she need to be naked? Then you get young women today saying, "I'm not a feminist, we don't need feminism nowadays." I always think to myself, "I'd be much more inclined to listen to you love if you put your top back on." How can any self-respecting young woman pose naked for a magazine who's advertising campaign revolves around the idea of females struggling with cars, DIY, etc, completely inept without the help of a big strong man, with the slogan "Women! Don't expect any help on a Thursday!" And think she has the right to talk to other girls about feminism. I do think that men are often portrayed in a very negative way, as completely incompetent. But then again, those Bounty adverts (the kitchen roll, not the chocolate) get to me as well - for men to advertise cleaning products, lets dress them up as housewives. I could say so much more. But I am aware I already sound like a bit of a crazy old bint so I won't. What she said! Apart from the Kelly Brook part... I always thought she was as thick as 2 short planks! Another thing about gender stereotypes is the toys people give to their kids. Look in a catalogue such as Argos or Index, they have the toys in categories of "Boys' toys" and "Girls' toys". Why shouldn't little girls play with toy cars or Action Man? Why should a little boy be called gay or a sissy just because he wants to play with a doll or a toy pram? In this day and age you'd think people would be a bit more open-minded! Little boys (hopefully) see their fathers helping out around the house, taking an equal role in raising the children, doing housework etc. So why shouldn't little boys want to emulate this in their play by pretending to look after a baby or playing with a toy cooker. Little girls are expected to do this, they are expected to enjoy playing the part of a good little housewife, yet little boys are expected to be macho and play with more violent and manly toys. Do people think that women enjoy cleaning? Hello... women clean for the same reason that men do, because it's a necessity! I for one detest doing any sort of housework!

Natalia Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Isn't the question "How ARE gender roles," rather than, "How IS gender roles"? I'm only asking because I find it worrying if even the teacher doesn't know simple grammar (is for singular ie 'role', are for plural ie 'roles').

Guevara01 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hey guys, this is a bit of a long shot, but has anyone read John Ford's: 'Tis Pity She's A Whore? If you have do you know how i would go about making a venn diagram for the characters? It's really difficult and i've tried it loads of times, but all the characters are so inter-connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated. xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierced Musie Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I need help with Microsoft Excel. I know almost everything I need to know about spreadsheets for the exam BUT I'm stuck on two things. I know one will be on the exam but I'm not sure about the other. Help me if you can. 1. When you write in a formula, it automatically changes it to the answer. I need to know how to change it so the sum comes up. Example: =(A1*B1). 2. What is Integer and how do you use it? I'm completely stumped with that one. Help. Please *begs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
