    This document discusses gender portrayals and stereotypes in the author's community. It provides definitions for men, women, and homosexuals. For men, it lists terms like boy and human being. For women, it defines them as a group of female adults and notes they have two X chromosomes. For homosexuals, it defines them as being sexually attracted to the same sex. The document then reflects on how gender roles portrayed in media often reflect stereotypes, like women primarily shown in household product ads.

    What are your thoughts?

    Everyone is aware of gender. We know what gender we are, and what gender everyone
    around us is. But what we don’t all remain conscious of are gender roles. This term brings up a
    lot of stereotypes. The woman should be at home cooking, cleaning, and caring for the children
    while the man is at work making money to support the family. In past decades, this is how it
    was. This was all anyone knew. Today, while there are more women in the workforce, the media
    cannot seem to let go of these stereotypical gender roles. Advertisements for cleaning
    products, cooking products, and other household items almost always have a woman in them.
    It is very rare to see a man in a commercial for a household item (other than maybe a grill). Men
    are constantly in commercials for luxury cars and other “powerful” or “manly” products.

    As the time goes by the gender stereotypical are slowly changing and more gender roles
    are arising like the homosexuals. Things are changing like the society expectations for the roles
    that should individuals portray.
