Hello! today I’m going to talk you about the gender in
modern society, and I’ll start with a speech of Johanna Blakley called Social media and the end of gender. Well, the speech
is about the link between social medias en the end of gender stereotypes. About
this she say that the social medias allow to demolish this gender stereotyoes.
First of all, she talk about the mass media and how they use rigid stereotypes,
further in demographic categories like
age and gender, wich provides us of a “distorted mirrows” about them. This demographics are methods of segmentation called
psychographics and allow them
to understand their audience tastes. In this sense this stereotypes belong to people
of 19 to 54 years old. The funny thing is that this stereotypes can´t be applied
to social media, because, despite the people in the internet have this age, it
doesn´t exist a link between demographics and taste. This means that taste is a powerful
aggregatorof human beings more tan demographics. The important thing is that woman
dominate the social networks. And for Johanna this means that woman will
demolish all the empty gender stereotypes, like chick flick.
Well, I agree with Johanna about their argue, but I think
that the end of the gender stereotypes can be seen in other dimensions of
social life. For example, we can see this in chilean politic, specifically in
the female liadership in the FECh –Melisa, a feminist- and in the government –with
Michelle bachellet and Evelyn Matthei as opponents-. Despite that, I think that
to end the gender stereotypes is necessary a change in the sexist culture of
our country and of the world. If we didnt change our culture, the same offences
and inequalities to woman will be continue.
