Take away message


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.
