Today in media we talked more about women and mens statistics in films and television shows. By This I mean the statistics of having a gender balanced cast, the amount of women wearing more sexual clothes etc... The statistics are really quite eye opening.

- This shows that women 'should be seen and not heard'

- In modern family Gloria is so fit and beautiful and Jay is overweight and old.

- People would accuse Gloria and call her in that relationship as a stereotype "Gold digger" but no one would say Jay was a "creepy old man"

- At the start of modern family Claire and Gloria are fighting about Gloria being a gold digger and being beautiful and young and marrying her dad. 

- Joe's character is a dumb actor, he is a playaaaa, his catch phrase was "how you doing?" 

- Monique she was a chef who was fat

- Ross was a steretypical nerd who was obsessed with dinosaurs. 

- Rachel: In the beginning she was dumb rich and spoilt and then learned how to get a job. Her best job was working at Ralph Lauren

- Chandler was awkward and no one knew what his job was because his job was always changing

- Women are easier to sexualise.

- The percentage of men wearing sexy attire is smaller they seem to be able to get away with it more.

- Why do you need a male narrator? Because they know everything?

- They are strong and easy to listen to

- More authoritive

- This isn't good as you grow up with a false representation of men and women and with the idea of women being inferior/or not as relevant as men

- When the women are in these they often just need to get rescued.

- Men are often shown to be more dominant and superior. 

All these statistics tell us

- Women are insignificant compared to men

- They do not know as much

- They are dumb

- They are spoiled

- They are easier to sexualise (and are objects for men)

- They are less relevant
