Have آپ ever been offended سے طرف کی those stereotypes? Well, I get offended pretty easily سے طرف کی the gender stereotypes. Whenever I get offended I would complain and stop watching یا playing the game altogether. Nearly all فلمیں and tv shows and even the video games are made سے طرف کی 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 the فلمیں like this one portrays women like that. Why the fuck does all the فلمیں fail the bechdel test?! Well, that is a good سوال I asked myself. The term bechdel came from a feminist comic person. 1. it must have at least two یا مزید women in it.
2. do they talk to each other?
3. and if they do, does the conversation involve something besides a man?
The same goes for many, many books. None of the کتابیں passed, and one of them is which I read. Let's look at this example, Julio and Romiette- it گیا پڑھا مرتبہ women as defenseless, damsel in distress, and it is very fucked up. Romiette is an example of a friggin damsel-in-distress stereotype! Fuck that book, too......... In that book the sexist male had to save his damsel! UGGH, how offensive! Even the plays don't pass. I am a woman, and I am nothing like that! I am an aggressive tomboy that knows self defense, and I am very independent. I am also brave, and never needed any help. Men have never gotten into the dude-in-distress position because they are greatly مزید valued! WHAT, DID HOLLYWOOD STILL LIVE IN THE 1700S AND THE FRICKING 1800S?! I would not want to be an actress unless they have a movie about a strong woman, a movie that passes the bechdel test, and a movie without any overprotective, stalkerish males. The movie, Gremlins, I believe, has a lot of sexist jokes hidden too.

Ok let's go back to the topic- in فلمیں and tv and other media that didn't pass the bechdel test, women are portrayed as weak, helpless, unintelligent, neurotic, and cowardly housewifes, and men as hardworking, overprotective, strong, tall, and brave. The little girls in these tv shows and فلمیں and other media seem to follow the role of the future damsel in distress, and the little boys seem to be protective and they have a love for sports. I hate movies, tv shows, and other media that didn't pass. Sometimes it feels as if the main-character roles is a no girls allowed club because of that. Hollywood needs to remember that women don't always need protection and that men can be very weak and cowardly too! Hollywood, at least make a movie about a strong woman who has to save a weak man!

Let's look at video games- they are way too male dominated, and feature women as damsels and the men as invincible heroes. Yeah, too many dicks in vid games.... Only 1 in 99,000 games has a strong female role- all other roles in other games are male dominated. Women who were damsels are sometimes unrealistically sexualized, and men are portrayed as way too muscly and big. We don't look like that in real life, anyways. Most of the damsels could be sisters, princesses, queens, and all other "important" females. I find the stereotypes to be super sexist. Even vid games do not pass the bechdel test because the world is still sexist towards women. And the gender stereotypes can be evident in cooking games designed for girls. Can't there be a game یا other media where a male is portrayed as nurturing and a female is portrayed as protective and tough?

Most ads are sexist except job ones- well most of the time. When آپ see an ad, it normally features a woman as ditzy, helpless, unintelligent, nurturing, and all other things possibly related to female gender stereotypes. Males are typlically portrayed as overprotective and too athletic, and all other things related to male stereotypes. Women are here to change the world, not be pretty and sexy and be protected سے طرف کی men!

Here are some women empowerment quotes that I like:

Women sleep on the right side of the بستر 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 آپ have to be stronger than a man, آپ 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.

Preface:
I have read all کتابیں and seen the movies.
Most importantly, the fact that it’s fantasy doesn’t excuse the themes and messages in the book. Fiction is merely a vehicle humans developed to communicate important lessons, values and philosophies. I am not claiming any of the implications I discuss were intentional on SMeyer’s part. Whether یا not the مصنف یا readers are aware of it, though, the Twilight series communicates dangerous messages...

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 animals 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...

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, مزید foolish, and can't learn anything.

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