Schhuoy (talk) 17:31, 11 October 2013 (UTC) Doing Gender and Soft and Hard Masculinity

Schhuoy (talk) 02:02, 17 October 2013 (UTC) I was reading the "Doing Gender" part. I like how it explains what "Doing Gender" is about. They gave out the history where the information came from. I think it would be nice if the discussion talk more about examples.. Like what females and male are suppose to do, look, and act. (Workplace, mass media, and such).

Barbie is seen as a beauty cultural icon, in which she sets the beauty standard in how society believe a woman should look like. Although she presents a positive outlook, she even has a negative affect as well. The way she looks (especially her body) is impossible for girls to have but it gives girls an image of how they should look when they become adults. First of all, Barbie is a kind of role model for girls to look up for. She is very thin, tall, fashionable, and last but not least beautiful. She does not age but stays the same over the years. Young girls would have the idea of wanting to look like her when they grow up.

Because of that, girls would develop low self-esteem. More to the article, it explains how parents should get involved because of how they (especially the mother) are one of the biggest influences in a girls’ life.
