Gender in media

How are these objects in media portraying females?

• There is a really well known name “Carl Largafeild” and there is a fancy bottle 
• The photo seems to say if you drink coke light then you will be beautiful and thin like the model and the boy is staring at her as if this is saying boys will look at you
• The colours of pink and white white is a symbol for innocence and pink is a symbol for femininity

• The girl in this add is pretty for an office worker
• She looks dumb she has got a blank gaze and is twirling her hair and doesn't realise there is a fire next to her
• She is the stereotypical dumb receptionist
• She is only worth working in the office
• She was stupid
• she is only in the office cause she's a pretty face and the eye candy for the guys
• She cant even make a Cup A soup which a man hands her

Twilight

- It seems like Bella always needs someone and can't be alone
- She is always hugging or holding on to someone whether that be Edward, her mum, her dad etc
- She is very co dependant.
- She is a bit pathetic she needs someone to look after her.
- She isn't very strong or independent
- She is very fearful all the time.

- I don't think this is a negative depiction of Paris Hilton, she looks quite nice and well put together.

- I think her outfit is probably a little over the top but thats just em Im sure its very high fashion. 

- I guess the fact that she looks very well put together conveys the message that women have to look all put together at all times even when being mobbed by the paparazzi. 

- This is a very negative depiction of Lindsey Lohan
- She looks emotionally unstable, exhausted and upset.
- She looks a bit like she is throwing a tantrum or going through some sort of drama
- She looks spoiled and looks to be over reacting.
- This is probably not the case at all but its how she has been depicted.

- This is not a great depiction of women, n some ways and in others it is. 

- The photographer has got a pretty unflattering first angles shot of Miley in the outfit which makes her look very unfashionable, and the face she is pulling isn't a nice face.

- It is a nice photo (the second one) As she seems to be emotionally stable she seems to be happy and content and talking to someone who is making her smile.

- This photo may have been taken to start rumours that she has a new boyfriend or something though because of the way she is talking on the phone and smiling. Its best not to start those rumours as it is really her business and her business only but, when you are in the public eye this can happen. 

- This is a photo that depicts women in a positive light. 

- the camera is a good angle and the lighting is flattering, she looks extremely confident and beautiful in her dress and she looks strong and happy. 

- She also doesn't look exceptionally airbrushed and quite realistic which is very good.

- Women are depicted well in this image as well as they all look strong beautiful and confident and they are not being objectified, or (as far as this picture shows) disrespected so I think it shows these women in a very positive light. 

- This is an interesting representation of women. 

- Some people in class said it was a negative representation as she is a high fashion model and only a small percent of the population look like her.

- They said that if this was published in a magazine it could make girls feel bad that they don't look like this. 

- But I think this image doesn't look manipulated or photoshopped too much.

- I think is she looks like this good for her and we should be tearing her down saying she is a bad representation of women just because she is slim and attractive. 

- I do not think she is being over sexualised either, yes her dress is short but it is covering what it needs to over quite well she isn't exposing huge amounts of cleavage and frankly she looks exceptionally strong and confidant. 

- I think that the woman in this image look strong confident and are at a healthy weight. This is a great representation of women in society.
