In Response to the Hungry Man's Dinners Commercial

Taking a break from my SME homework that never ends, I decided to type in "Stereotypes of women" into google just to see what popped up. When we think stereotypes, it is more often than not ones on african americans, latinos, asians, etc.... race. But gender is also an important aspect of society and culture and they way each gender is perceived comes with stereotypes.

My finding in my google search were the following:

http://marketingtowomenonline.typepad.com/blog/stereotypes_of_women_in_the_media/
^ this was a woman who wrote of her many different experiences with stereotypes in the media that sway her or others away from certain products or toward products. Nothing too educational, just very interesting. The artcle I found most interesting was the idea of a girl being called "princess" and whether it is taken in a positive or negative tone. Positive meaning girl living a perfect life or negative meaning spoiled, or powerless. < Never had really thought of that before

Just thought I'd share :)
