Gender Identity

The Media and the news have a big influence on the gender identity in many ways. Men have high expectations in the world. Men have to be “American”, they have to be bulky, good looking, big muscles just like all the guys in a magazine. Women think they have it hard on themselves of being skinny but it’s the same to guys we have to be held at a standard also. I’m not saying women have it easier because they don’t; women have it just as hard. Women in magazines like the magazine “People”, the women on the front are perfect. Perfect body, perfect face; perfect everything, and when women think they are not like that they become emotionally unstable. This is a problem in our society because this can hurt our country, people will judge people on how they look and that’s not how this society should be. But in this world men and women are going to have stereotypes no matter what, and we have to just face it, it’s going to be there.
