Not the Fifties:
A presentation of gender
roles, stereotypes and our
society today.

By: Haley McDonald
Thesis
   Even though most people today still prefer to stick
    to the traditional set of values and lifestyle we
    have always known, these typical gender roles
    and stereotypes have changed exorbitantly as
    society evolves into a more accepting state
    because the world is changing into a more
    gender equal environment as men and women
    pursue career paths and interests previously
    assumed to belong to a specific gender role—
    meanwhile, gender has been discovered to be
    not only one’s biological sex, but also as a way of
    defining oneself individually to the world.
Gender Roles
What are Gender Roles?
 “A gender role refers to the socially
 constructed
 roles, behaviors, activities, and attributes
 that a given society considers
 appropriate for men and women”—The
 world health organization.

    Head  of the house*             Housewife
    Work outside the                Clean
     home                            Cook
    Hunt                            Care   for the
    Sometimes military                children & teach
     service                           morals

* However it is said a wise man would seek the counsel of his wife.
Typical Career Paths For...
  Men                    Women
 Military              Secretaries
 CEOs                  Seamstresses
 Doctors               Nurses

MEDIA
My Little Pony:
Friendship is
Magic
-   Intended for MLP’s
    franchise’s main
    demographic: Young girls.
-   22-minute long episodes
    tend to attract more of an
    audience than two, 11
    minute shorts.
-   Distinct characters and
    sneakily stuck-in life lessons
    make it likable by adults of
    both genders
-   “Bronies”
Adventure Time
with Finn & Jake
-   Cartoon Network series
    aimed at young boys.
-   Popular with girls for bright
    colors and romantic
    aspects.
-   Enjoyed by adults for dark
    atmosphere, plot and vocal
    talent.
-   Among first of cartoons to
    create a “Gender Bender”
    episode—Adventure Time
    with Fiona & Cake.
Tomboys, Metros, & Transexuality
A Little Information…
 Tomboy:A girl who is masculine in
 nature/enjoys interests typically for men.

 Metro:
       A feminine-natured boy—the male
 equivalent of a Tomboy.

 Transexual:
            A person who identifies as the
 opposite gender than their biological sex.
Stereotypes
 All tomboys are lesbians—FALSE.**
 All metros are either homosexual or
  pretending to be so—FALSE.**
 Transexuals are bisexual/homosexual—
  FALSE.**

**Just because someone does not conform to their
typical gender role does not mean they are gay,
straight or bi. It is only their interests—has no true effect
on sexuality.
