Blog #4



My gender roles blog is about an article called,"Gender and racial stereotypes in daily newspaper comics: a time-honored tradition?"Not only are men perceived as the greater common sex on television, but also comic books. When a local newspaper tried to switch it up and use different non racist and sexist comics, the public complained. However the more women appear as editors or on the set of television shows, the more respect the characters portray towards women. This article demonstrates that women are less valued than men when it comes to jobs and everyday life. I posted a picture  on a comic strip I found about sexist politics. It just goes to show how men perceive women.
