Post # 10 Gender Stereotyping

 This picture has a man and a woman in it but are shown in two different ways. Under the man is the word masculine and under the woman is feminine, so under these circumstance the artist was trying to show people the difference between man{masculine} and woman{feminine}. The man is very muscular and strong because as you can see, he has big muscles and abs. He is wearing a lifeguard shirt, whistle, trunks and a boating ring. we can all predict from these details that he is a lifeguard possibly on a boat. I would predict that they are trying to say that men are saviors of the human descent and the most dominant. But if you look at the woman then you would see a whole different perspective. The woman is holding a pot with baby bottles in it. In another hand she is holding a math test that has a F on it. It could mean that either the woman failed the test and possibly flunked out of school. I know none of her nine kids couldn't have gotten that F because they are still just babies. I can tell by her belly that she is pregnant again and by her hair that she is stressed by working hard to raise and provide for her crying babies. They are trying to say woman are nothing but uneducated people who have a lot of babies that they can barely take care of. This is a stereotype because woman are also smart, beautiful individuals that can overcome anything no matter how big of an obstacle and not all men are in shape hero's like the man in this picture.
