For example, marketing to men involves affirming their masculinity, whereas marketing to women involves a need to be seen as \u201cprogressive\u201d in encouraging female empowerment, but often with products marketed to women, this is counterintuitive as the products themselves further encourage a limited idea of women and their roles. Another aspect of this is the way women, and sometimes men, are objectified in media. In movie trailers, the actors themselves become the attraction rather than the film. It is often said that \u201csex sells,\u201d in turn reducing women to merely a marketing device. However, gender can exist in media in more positive ways. Seeing gender stereotypes and identities countered or questioned in media can also allow individuals to critique their own cultural expectations and assumptions of gender. This kind of positive representation in media is necessary for further understanding and growth of knowledge about gender and how it impacts individuals\u2019 identities and experiences, especially for young children.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The text made me consider how gender is a facet of identity that exists purely as another thing to be advertised or advertised to.
