My topic is most likely going to be gender roles/sexism in advertising. I'm not sure whether I'll go male/female/both.

  1. Totally wrote my blog post this week about the inherent differences between men and women so I love this topic. Are you saying gender roles are negatively portrayed?

  2. This could be in interesting topic. My mind immediately jumps to products that seem to apply to everyone but end up being gender-specific: weight loss, for instance. What are some of the issues in sexism in advertising? Is this somehow problematic?

  3. Most likely the negative thing. I'll learn more as I research it.

    Thanks Ms. Roper, that's super interesting.I'll definitely look into that. Thanks!

  4. I think that there is a lot that you can do with this topic. Are you thinking of advertising on TV, magazines, or a lot of different kids of media?

  5. How is advertising that targets a specific gender an issue? I don't see it as an issue, so if I was your audience (I'm not really but you can take this as a suggestion) I would be interested in a paper arguing that it is an issue, and telling what is so problematic about it (the "Fact" stasis). Interesting topic!
