Representation of gender

Representation Of Gender 

1. Superiority and Domination: Men are shown in dominant positions. Women are physically portrayed in subordinate poses.

2. Dismemberment: Parts of the body such as legs, chest, etc., are photographed, rather than the full body.

3. Clowning and Exaggeration: Women are shown in positions that make them look contorted or foolish while men appear in positions reflective of thought and intelligence.

4. Male Approval: Males desire and women are desired. Women are shown as recipients of male approval.

5. The Voice-Over Authority: Male voices are used as voice-overs in commercials rather than females.6. Irrelevant Sexualisation of Women and Girls: Women’s bodies are used to sell products even if the product has nothing to do with sex.
