GENDER CODE REFLECTION

This film addressed gender coding messages in advertising and other forms of popular
culture. Despite the fact that cultures have grown and altered over the previous few
decades, gender rules have remained mostly unchanged and continue to have a huge
impact on culture and society. What astonished me was that this program looked at real-
world examples of advertising and grasped the gender coding that advertising and other
media were attempting to portray through these examples. Following my viewing of this
documentary, I recognized that gender norms in advertising and other forms of media had
a significant impact on how I perceive and comprehend others. I expected a feminine thin
and feminine female form due to the advertisement's effect.
A woman with such a figure is "lovely," in my opinion. The culture of people who are
beginning to have the resources to explore their identities is developing for the first time in
history. In truth, many guys, especially in recent years, have been hunting for something to
appeal to us. In actuality, there is a scarcity of vocabulary, expertise, and precedent for
comprehending and navigating people's identities and preferences. Every day, when I
check my email and Grindr account, I get a shocking message from a man telling me that
I've discovered a trans woman / woman man and that I can't openly confess it. This
humiliation is frequently focused on those who sexually objectify us. This lack of visibility
and knowledge is excruciatingly painful and vital. I make every effort to disseminate the
word.
I agree that people are capable of loving others of the same sex, and that sex can take
numerous forms. Mankind resembles a spectrum rather than a homosexual or heterosexual
person. The illusion of "gay / straight" separates us, and many possibilities are missed. Our
existing terminology is out of date and was written by persons who may not have
considered everyone's reality. People are yelling for their minds to be renewed. We truly
believe we are at the very beginning of the revolution.
The gender code acts as a map to help you traverse this new reality in the past, present, and
future. Through my experience and views, it provides a fair guide to a full study of the big
picture of gender and sexuality. Departing from previous repressive thinking, effectively
increasing the potential of all and placing things in the context of the twenty-first century.
Gender codes in advertising have a significant impact on how people behave in society.
Humans must discriminate between males and females because gender has various
interactions. When it's uncertain what gender role a person can identify, it's tough to
engage in social interactions with that person's defined identity, yet the media does impact
my thinking. Men, for example, are portrayed as powerful, dominant, and strong. This
picture is often painted by the media. This is something I can implement into my own male
aspirations. One example is to lead us to feel that it is unusual for guys to be sensitive or
emotional, even though this is a typical and healthy trait. This is an example of gender
expression. Some men are expected to conform to natural masculine norms and may chose
not to do so. Advertisements for Dolce and Gabbana appear in the film. In advertising, men
are portrayed as superior to women, possessing power and authority. When women are on
the ground, they display vulnerabilities, leading us to believe that men cannot be
vulnerable. These gender norms were formed through the media and advertising, and
because these sectors reach a big audience, many people in society, whether they like it or
not, embrace these preconceptions. To be sure. I believe it is crucial to feel accepted
regardless of one's individuality, although society may take some time to realize and adopt
this viewpoint.
