Introduction: Gender stereotypes and discrimination play a bigger role in society then we let ourselves think. The truth is most people would deny that they use gender stereotypes or discriminate against people because of their gender. According to Wikipedia, “Sexism, a term coined in the mid-20th century, is the belief or attitude that one gender or sex is inferior to, less competent, or less valuable than the other. It can also refer to hatred of, or prejudice towards, either sex as a whole (see misogyny and misandry), or the application of stereotypes of masculinity in relation to men, or of femininity in relation to women.” Here’s one example of sexist humor from the T.V. show, “The Office”: in season six episode ten (“Murder”), Angela gets the part of the voodoo queen because she, in the words of Michael, “fits the part.” Really he’s just making fun of her because she’s not pretty. This is why you believe too much of what the media tries to get you, to think what they think that’s why I wrote this, to educate you on the media’s influence through television.
