Male Stereotypes

Of the two genders, males are portrayed in media as the more dominant and superior. Males are present more in movies, video games, TV, and most other types of mass communication. They are also portrayed as the more sporty and masculine and of the two genders. Males are represented as having the tougher jobs and taking care of most of the money compared to females. Males not only have gender stereotypes, but also have various male characters that fall in a range of stereotypes that are portrayed by the media, some of these characters include: the jock, the big shot, the action hero, and the buffoon. At the end of the day, gender stereotypes are just that, and they dont define us as people.
