Discussion Post: Sociology

Watch the YouTube video "LIke a Girl - Always TV Commercial".

Discuss the ways that the term "like a girl" has come to embody certain gender stereotypes. Using one (or more) of the theories from the section "Classical Theories and Feminist Thinking," how would that theoretical perspective explain why this type of gender stereotyping persists? Are these gender stereotypes problematic? Are they likely to change? Why or why not?

Do these traditional gender stereotypes pose challenges for accepting "non-traditional" gender identities such a non-binary, transgender, gender nonconforming, among others? If so, how so? If not, explain.

If you have an example of another advertisement that either perpetuates or opposes gender stereotypes, please feel free to add a link to your post and share it with the class. Discuss why you chose that particular example to share.
