It’s my first time that I’m taking a class related
to gender issues. But this class changed my view point about different things
that I’ve accepted without even thinking about them. It got even more
interesting towards the end of the semester. I learned a lot about the concepts
of femininity, masculinity, domestic labor and etc. However, one of the
important things that this class taught me was that advertisements always
portray something which is not real. Likewise, Disney movies always show female
characters that are perfect in every way, and this is why women in real world
try so hard to reach the same unreachable perfection. The important message
that I got from this class is that media has a huge influence on us, even
though we are not aware of it.
