representation of women in recent ads, films or TV dramas
Dear all,
Related to classmates' presentation, what do we think about the image of women in recent media? do we find a generalized pattern in the way women are portrayed in different media forms? are they very much changed, or do they tend to reinforce traditional stereotypes about women (in terms of social roles, characterization, or sexuality) that confirm the traditional patriarchy that still persist in the millenium? we can carry on the discussion here.
on the other hand, how do you think about the portrayal of 'men' in mainstream media? does that illustrate a new kind of masculinity, or are they very much the same?
We also see the rise of gay and lesbian images in the media, do we see the kind of negative stereotypes that we have been discussing? we can use different case studies to discuss this.

peggy~i think it may show the "restore of hegemony", many o the gay people have sad ending... though they are presented in the drama or movie..the film "LAN YU"(藍宇)is like that too...T-T...
and the "women in the ads" are still being sterotyping..
1)the mother is always presented as a virtuous one...they must know how to cook well, kind, considerate, take care of their children in order to become a dutiful wife and loving mother, but a GOOD mother may not like that
2)sexy girl always presented in the beer ads~
