POST-VIEWING QUESTIONS
1. Do you feel that our ideals of femininity and masculinity are learned or natural? Why?
I feel like our ideals of femininity and masculinity are learned. We are taught as a child that playing “house” would be mostly a girl game.

2. What are some stereotypical stories media tell about women? What are some stereotypical stories media tell about men? Give some examples of each.
Women stereotypes:
Men stereotype stories:
3. How do the messages in advertising counter or undermine social change? (Use space on the back.)
