I totally agree with whoever said scarey movies are stereotypical. Every scarey movie from the first one made to now a days have the same characters, and always stereotype them. For instance, there is always a jock, dumb blonde, nerd, and emo person. The first person in scarey movies to die first will most [...]

Gender is one of those things that you learn from an early age. You probably cannot remember a time when you did not know the difference between a boy and a girl. Boys always liked to play with cars and get dirty while girls like to play with dolls and dress up. But as we [...]

Both women and men play powerful rules in society, but why are women seen as less powerful and weaker human beings. Men are seen as much more powerful beings, so powerful that in movies they also seem to crazy massive killers with ridiculous apathetic ways. Yes, men are stronger than women, but women can be [...]

Gender in society is woven into the fabric of almost every part of it. Ideals are impressed upon both males and females from a very young age. This is seen in family life, television, advertising, and school. Basically, there are certain roles we as either male or female are expected to adhere to. It becomes [...]

As a woman I think that males tend to be shown as the stronger one where as gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are shown as nothing. For instance, in basketball men are shown to be the ones who [...]

Gender issues, seemingly the Pandora’s box of writing topics, eh? Well, let’s just get down to brass tacks.
Our peers, ’society’ as it were, dictates a lot of what we deem ‘normal’ and ’status quo’, right? Well, over the course of the past hundred thousand years or however long we’ve been around on this planet, there [...]

Honestly, I think that many people make too much of a big deal out of the physical differences between a woman and a man. As a woman, I think that a lot of the assumptions and stereotypes about women are absolutely wrong. On the other hard, some of them may very well be correct. I [...]
Gender Differences on the Psychological aspect

I was reading the posts that are already up on our Blog and a lot of them have to do with the movie. I think that some scientific evidence can settle the fight between genders. I was on psychologymatters.org and I came across this article about gender differences. I think gender goes beyond the clichés [...]
Halloween to Disney to Everything

After watching Halloween I began to think about how in most films or TV shows women are always shown as the weaker power compared to men. In the movie we saw the main targets are women especially naked women for some reason or another but we never see a man be killed but once. Halloween [...]
