Gender Stereotypes


David Gauntlett argued in 2008 that males in films are stereotyped as; 'Traditional alpha males who dominate the action with violence,' (Gauntlett 2008)

In 1975, Laura Mulvey argued women are used in films as; 'Erotic objects of desire for males in the audience,' (Mulvey, 1975)

Why do stereotypes work? Because they sell the product and represent the needs of the audience who want to be entertained (Blumer and Katz 1973)
