Notes from class


Post feminism 

Women is portrayed as being strong and a very masculine character 

Traditional definition or femininity and masculinity 

Femininity is where a women's is slim an cares what she looks like has women curves and obvious breasts and also hips bearing children 

Masculinity is where a man is the dominate one in the relationship is the main breadwinner 


This has changed as a women can have  more masculinity then there meant to be 

Post masculinity 
This is where males challenge the stereotype of men or how men should be can be quite weak
