Men have been portrayed in their leading roles as strong and heroic figures. On the contrary, women in Hollywood cinema were first only used as sexual objects. This drastic difference has promoted sexist representations of women as well as discrimination against females. Men&#8217;s domination over women continued throughout early films. Media has repeatedly shown the stereotype of specific gender roles relating to family dynamics. Women played roles as purely mother figures who depended on their husband, the strong leader of the household. Even in advertisements, women continued to be seen in a particular way. \u201cOne study found that 75 percent of all ads using females were products found in the kitchen or bathroom (Dominick and Rauch 1972),\u201d (Douglas 68). All females in media were casted down to their gender stereotypes, causing a major divide between male and female.
