Representing Gender

How boys and girls are socialised into their gender roles..

Boys Toys:
-Cars
-Robots
-Super heros

Girls Toys:
-Barbies
-Animals
-Bratz
-Kitchens
-Ponys

Basically, girls learn how to become a mum, taking care of their dolls and using a fake kitchen and boys learn how to become more tough and masculine by fighting games etc.

Using magazines, we can see deeper into the interests of men and women.
Woman's magazines are very image concious. It reflects the idea that woman take pride in their appearence. Woman have other woman on the cover for inspiration whereas if we see a man on the cover od a mans magazine we would stereotypically think that they're gay.

Men's magazines are quite superficial as there is nothing aimed at woman . There is more versitility as some mens mags have all sorts of gadgets.

Gender relates to our film as we have a male and femal role.
