The Codes of Gender

11/29/17. An interesting documentary about gender roles and how they are represented in media and advertising. It is amazing how what we watch constantly on any medium, whether in print or on the screen, insidiously display what roles we should be playing. This is especially true for women, in which they are constantly feminized to reduce the threat that men may feel when faced with women who come off as being masculine or too male-like. And, gay men are displayed in what are considered feminine positions because they share the same audience with women. Worth catching.
